Strawberry Dessert Cups / Strawberry Shortcake Parfaits

            

As Valentine's Day is here, we all have secret plans to please our loved ones but I strongly feel that love doesn't need any date and time to be expressed. You can always show your love for your loved ones by gifting them expensive and luxury items but what we do on a day-to-day basis for our loved ones matters the most. 

Love doesn't need any special occasion to be expressed. If you love somebody you can express it in a number of ways. I strongly believe that Food is one thing which is the best way to express your love and care for your loved ones. Treating your family members by making a sumptuous meal is an excellent way to express your TLC for someone.

So, to embark on this festival of Love I thought of making Strawberry Dessert Cups. This dessert is filled with the tanginess of Strawberry Jelly, creaminess of Yogurt and goodness of Strawberry Cake. You can add or subtract the ingredients as per your choice. Whatever options you choose I can assure you that it will definitely please your mind and soul.

So, let's begin with the recipe:

Swiss Roll with Vanilla Cream Frosting

              

Sorry for the late post guys....This post was pending in my drafts folder for a very long time but due to some or the other reason I was not able to post this recipe. 

It's almost 3 months that Valentine's day has passed by but I strongly feel that love doesn't need any date and time to be expressed. You can always show your love for your loved ones by gifting them expensive and luxury items but what we do on day-to-day basis for our loved ones matters the most.

I strongly believe that Food is one thing which is the best  way to express your love and care for your loved ones. Treating your family members by making a sumptuous meal is an excellent way to express your TLC for someone.

So, to embark this festival of Love I thought of making Swiss Roll filled with vanilla cream frosting for my family. Swiss Roll also known as Jelly roll which is a sponge cake layered with jelly or cream, rolled up and served in cross sectional slices. It tastes delicious and divine.

Even if you don't get the swirls perfect or your cake gets cracked while rolling it's okay. You will still love the tasty and heavenly Swiss Roll.

Raspberry Pannacotta......A perfect dessert for your Valentine

Love is in the air as Valentine's Day is here. We all know this day is celebrated as the day of love and romance all over the world. Being a foodie the best way to celebrate this special day is making something special for the love of my life. So, I decided to make one of my all time favorite desserts - "Raspberry Pannacotta".

Pannacotta is an Italian dessert which means cooked cream. Traditionally it is made from milk, cream, sugar and gelatin. It is generally served chilled and topped with chocolate, caramel sauce or fruits of your choice. You can enjoy this dessert as it is just spoon up and indulge yourself in it's silky smooth texture.

These days we can easily find gelatin in our local grocery stores unlike earlier; people would use egg-whites instead. So, if you are not in favor of using gelatin you can always replace gelatin with egg whites but in that case you need to bake it. Having gelatin in your pantry makes your life easy and you can make really gorgeous looking desserts instantly.

I used Raspberry but you can always use fruit of your choice or replace it with chocolate the options are endless! So let's begin with the recipe:
