Eggless chocolate mousse

2. Im having a Eureka moment here, folks. Did you know that folding in whipped cream in a pudding mixture and then setting it to chill will give you a wonderfully rich and airy mousse? Neither did I not until I tried this recipe. And then everything changed. I was happy and content with my Instant Chocolate Mousse. But lets face it not everyone has access to marshmallows, let alone the vegan vegetarian kind. I feel like Im doing a great serv .....

But the chocolate and strawberry connection is a must try for all you dessert lovers. This is a far healthier dessert than anything els .....

Stewed strawberries

8. Strawberries are probably one of the only fruits I actually like cooked stewed. Im not a huge fan of cooked fruits; which is probably why you may never find an apple pie or a poached pear on Foodomania. I did try an apple upside down cake once. But that is the extent of my experiments with cooking fruits. Fruits, I believe, should be consumed in their natural form.However, one thing I love is a cup of stewed strawberries served along with whipped .....

However, one major difference this time is that instead of golden ra .....

18. forgot to tell you how the cake turned out. I used some math and little bit of sciencenot much of mind boggling here. to convert this recipe to an egg less one for this months Baking Eggless groups challenge and I also made sure I didnt cook the cake for too long as I wanted to get the molten lava chocolate to ooze out from the center. Was I successful, you see the results and let me know To me it was perfect and Im out of here Im switching to my .....

Watermelon granita

19. Its so hot. I can hardly say anything beyond that. My back is dripping sweat, my brain is fried, and my garden is crying out for relief. When its this hot outside, granita is the perfect treat. And you know what? The name granita is unnecessarily sophisticated; its basically a glorified slushie.

Funfetti cupcakes

27. I dont know why, but Im suddenly obsessed with making mini versions of everything. I find that mini cupcakes or mini cakes or mini scones are just the way to maintain portion control whilst ensuring that more people get to have a taste of the treat. Wouldnt you agree with me? Take these Funfetti Cupcakes for example. If I were to make the same as regular sized cupcakes, Id probably get about 4 6 of them. And I think they would lose their cutenes .....

Nutella cupcakes

28. I may have probably made a billion recipes with Nutella so far and Im not done yet. Ill keep coming up with recipes and you keep enjoying them.

Eggless strawberry ice cream

It still gets cold enough at night that we have to turn the heat on, but for a few glorious hours in the middle of the day, its picture perfect. Thats when I run or do yoga and after a hard workout, I dont like heavy things but need something to recharge. .....

Best vegan blueberry muffins

37. The muffins are fast and easy to make, no mixer required. They were inspired by the Fluffy Vegan Coconut Oil Banana Muffins. In many vegan quickbreads and muffins, bananas behave like eggs, binding, fluffing, and moistening the batter, and here a very ripe avocado does the same. I love banana bread and banana anything, but not everyone does, and kept them out. I also wanted true blueberry muffins, not banana blueberry. .....

A cake so rich in Chocolate that youd feel like youve died and gone to heaven with just a tiny slice of it. .....

Shortbread cookies

41. When I kicked off my Holiday Bonanza with a Death by Chocolate Cake, I wasnt so sure if a simple shortbread should follow. I mean it is after all a humble biscuit made with nothing but butter, sugar And flour. How can it be worthy enough of a Christmas treat?? But when it came smelling incredible out of the oven, I knew this should definitely be the next recipe on Foodomania. You cannot find a simpler yet delicious treat to make during the Ho .....

Skinny frozen peanut butter pies

42. So yesterday I showed you super sinful and promised you skinny. Today, Im fulfilling that promise.

Butter saltine toffee

43. We meet again. It feels a little weird to be acting normal because in the last three days Ive become a hopeless wanderer in the land of pre Christmas, running into things such as quick trips to the store for wrapping paper because somehow, some how, I did not buy enough? Its really a mystery. Add to that a failed Swedish tea ring, a sore throat sick day, and hours spent trying to track down UPS packages. WHAT IS GOING ON. And honestly, UPS, pleas .....

Honey and wild blueberry smoothie

44. Breakfast on the go is not really my thing, you guys. Ive always been the kind of person who would forgo blow drying their hair before work in exchange for a full, warm, sit down breakfast. At the very least, toast with peanut butter and banana and some jam, with a side of coffee. And yogurt, and a few bites of last nights noodles. Eew, Im gross. You can judge me; I deserve it. But lately, Im onto this new thing. Its called Breakfast on the Go. .....

Vegetarian panna cotta with strawberry coulis

45. We as a family are big fans of panna cotta. And we have gone to great lengths to eat this Italian concoction, comprising of milk, cream and sugar along with gelatin or agar agar to set it and give it that wobbly texture.It is hard to believe that a simple dessert made with such few ingredients, primarily milk, cream and sugar, can have such a profound impact on the tastebuds. .....

Potato chip cookies

46. I assure you, potato chips in cookies is not weird. In fact, Im considering the possibility of a lot of things in cookies. Like pretzels. marshmallows. candy bars. cake crumbs. gravy. Ok. now that may be weird. But we wont know until we try them out right? ; These Potato Chip Cookies are mildly salty, mostly sweet and a very interesting treat to surprise your friends And family around the holiday season or anytime, really. .....

Oreo smores

47. Whether all those people appreciate the hard work that goes into every dish of mine is secondary.

Take these Smoreos for example. From start to finish, it takes 2 minutes. .....

Instant chocolate mousse

48. This mousse tastes like delicious air. Such is the awesomeness of this almost intangible delight that you can forgive yourself for making this again and again and again.This recipe is egg free.

If not, what you can do is go to a vegan specialty store and purchase those ma .....

Ice cream cake bars

49. I dont really have to describe the recipe as you already know what is coming. And dont look too much into the name either. You can call this an Ice Cream Pie and be done with it or you couldnt go for a detailed naming like Fudge Chocolate Cake Ice Cream Bars. Ehh well, I kept it simple. .....

Chip cookie sandwich

50. Theres Nutella in between the cookies AND inside the cookie batter. I mean.. IN the cookie batter. Yep, the whole thing is loaded with so much nutella that I feel I could be the brand ambassador of this delightful chocolate hazlenut paste. .....

Rabri

51. This is NOT the authentic version of a Rabri rabdi. Rabri a sweet dish that is prepared by reducing milk. It takes quite a while to do that and tastes delicious.

Milk cheese cupcakes

But not until a few months back, I realized that maybe theres Mawa Khoya also known as Khoa in these Cupcakes. .....

Double chocolate brownies

54. Ive baked these brownies more than once. Ive perfected them over a period of time and they couldnt be more easier. The entire process of getting everything together took less than 5 minutes.
