Today is my husband’s special day and sadly he’s not around, he’s on a business trip thousands of miles away from me. So I thought of celebrating his birthday in advance!When it comes to surprises, well I must say I’m horrible at it, even before I plan a surprise, my face and my anxiety says it all…..but not this time bcoz I did succeed in surprising him a bit, Just a bit.
Ask me how?? Well it was simple.....first of all made a proper cake in advance (proper bcoz somehow I always ruined his b’day cake), made quick arrangements while he was away from home, invited some of our close friends , decorated the house with balloons and also gave the biggest surprise with a montage which i posted on youtube.....check this out!!!
So the menu was a combination of North-indian and South-indian cuisine, Mango ice-cream for dessert and ofcourse the most important chocolate cake!!! Overall it was a nice birthday party and i made him feel special which he is and will always be!
So let me share the recipes for Chocolate cake and Mango ice-cream!
Chocolate Cake recipe: I already made a chocolate cake sometime back. so just followed the same recipe again. Here's the link:
Mango Ice cream Recipe: This is a fruity cool treat that everyone will love and enjoy. Its the simplest and also the best.
You will need:
2 cups Mango pulp ( i used store bought)
1 cup condensed milk (Nestle carnation)
1 cup heavy cream
Directions:
Take a bowl and mix the mango pulp and condensed milk.
In a seperate bowl whip the cream till it becomes nice n fluffy.
Now add this cream into the mango mixture using a whisk.
Once done, transfer the mixture to a bowl which has a lid and allow it freeze for a couple of hours.
Let it sit in the freezer for 3-4 hrs and mango ice cream looks like this.
Serve it in your favourite dish!
one more pic!
These are the 2 Temptations of the day.
Hope you had a nice weekend.
Have a great week ahead.
Stay tuned as always.
