The Dessert for week end

I wasn’t sure , what should be the first posting on my blog. Then I realized it’s Saturday evening and I need to plan my week end menu. So here is a simple & quick recipe for men to surprise their loved ones. I usually use Banglore Iyengar Bakery cake for this. You can also try with other fruits like chikoo or mango instead of watermelon.

The Cake-Ice cream Pudding

Ingredients

200 gms each of Rava cake & chocolate cake

5 large cups of ice cream (plain vanilla or your choice)

½ cup mix dry fruits

2 cups of fresh watermelon cut into small pieces

1 ½   cup red wine or black coffee (instant coffee without sugar)

Cut chocolate cake in to small pieces. Place these pieces In a large bowl randomly, leaving few gaps in between.

Keep the ice cream cups at room temperature & let it melt for a while. Pour two cups of melted ice cream on the layer of cake.

Now add a layer of watermelon pieces followed by a layer of rawa cake.
Pour red wine or black coffee (cooled to room temperature)

Pour remaining cups of melted ice cream.

Decorate with dry fruit pieces.

Freeze the bowl for 2 hours.  Serve cold.

Hey ! It’s done. Surprise your loved ones & please do share your feedback. 

Hi

Welcome to foodie trekker’s blog.

Those who know me, are aware of my passion for trekking but they would still be wondering what is this “Foodie Trekker”. I was born with a spicy tooth rather than a sweet tooth that most of my buddies have. So the childhood passion of enjoying spicy food stuff continued. Of course I am not completely allergic to sweet stuff. Given a choice , I can easily spend a day with chocolates, ice creams, fudge & milk shakes.

This Journey with Spice has been adventurous too as it comes with a temptation to explore a variety of food stuff , sometimes from road side carts , restaurants and of course our own kitchen.

This passion has further led to my adventures (or mis-adventures ? ) into the kitchen. Thanks to inspiring column by Samar Harlankar on Simple Cooking from Male Perspective in Mint Lounge on Saturdays. 

Another , equally adventurous passion is trekking. It was a monsoon trek to Fort Raigad in August 1982 that sowed the seeds of trekking. The lush green hills , walk in the clouds and the thunderous rains that I enjoyed in my first ever trek is still one of those most cherished moments in my life and the journey still continues.

Is it a typical Cancerian trait ? I don’t know. But Linda Goodman in her book on “Sun Signs” affirms that Cancerians are fond of food , travel & nature.

That’s how this blog “ The Foodie Trekker”

To share with you some of the best moments I have spent in the Mountains…to share about places where you can look for some yummy stuff and of course on my adventures into the kitchen……
