For the second day of baked treats, let us go to Holland. Also known as Banketstaven / Letterbanket, these Dutch letters were introduced in the US by Dutch immigrants, originated at Pella, Iowa. MAde with a flaky pastry or puff pastry, filled with a sweet almond paste or marzipan, these are pastries or cookies shaped […]
For the final day of Rakshabandan sweets, here is one sweet for all chocolate lovers. I know most of you prefer chocolates over sweets for rakhi. Why not combine them both to make this extremely sinful dessert! As I was making these sweets for my daughter, I knew I had to make a chocolate version. […]
Paan is the trending flavour nowadays and you can see so many desserts with the flavour. I myself have done paan cake and paan mousse and loved it. So why not use it in burfi? Most kids don’t like it, but my daughter loves it. So I was so sure that she would love the […]
My mom was a pro in making coconut burfis. Whenever there was a festival at home, she used to make a huge batch of burfi. Not only for us, but also for friends and family. I remember her going to a family friend’s house for navratri just to make them a huge batch of coconut […]

We used to visit a Bengali sweet shop where he bought me rasmalai with some other milk sweets. Somehow the taste of rasmalai I tasted over […]
This week’s theme I have chosen is quite interesting. When I read about single serve sweets, I was immediately hooked. Ever since I have been on diet, I have learnt to make smaller batches of any recipe so that I don’t have left overs. And when I started weighing the ingredients for recipes, I also […]
For the final day of recipes from Asian countries, I picked a delicious sweet from Iran. I also came across this sweet in Turkish cuisine, and there are some variations in the recipes available online. I chose to make the simplest one. Made entirely of almond flour and sugar, this one was somewhat like halwa […]
The second country I chose from the list of Asian countries is Bangladesh. Being neighbor of West Bengal, most of the recipes are identical. When I was looking for an authentic sweet, I came across this cake Sondesh. You know that sondesh is a paneer based sweet which is absolutely yum. I was interested in […]
