all berries no bake cheesecake

Posted on August 7, 2014 | Leave a comment

No bake desserts are the best! Quick, easy and delicious. This creamy layered treat is one of the incredible indulgent sweet course. Each layer by itself is inviting. Follow me for a step by step tutorial:

To prepare the crust, put 250g of digestive biscuits into a food processor and blend until you get fine crumbs.

Add 80g of softened butter and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Mix well until you get sand like mixture.

For the filling, blend 500g cream cheese (I use philadelphia cheese) with 1 cup of icing sugar. Once mixed well add 2 cups of whipping cream and zest of half a lemon. Whisk to become fluffy.

For individual portions, choose a glass or shooter of your choice to press the crust in the buttom. Add the cream cheese, then all berries jam and let it cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

You can use any jam you favor; could be strawberry, blueberry or even caramel…..

If you like frozen sweets, put it in the freezer for couple of hours before adding the jam. Trust me it will be your summer dessert, you will melt for it!

You are going to love these cheesecakes. Enjoy!

Posted on April 9, 2014 | 14 comments

Today is a happy day! My parents are coming to doha to spend easter holiday. I am so excited! I want everything to be perfect and have a warm welcome.

What’s better than this spectacular chocolate cake with these sexy red fruits and dark chocolate ganache!

It’s a heavenly delicious cake, and i want to share with you the simple recipe and how to decorate step by step.

First to bake the cake, we need:

2 cups of flour
1 1/2 cups of sugar
3/4 cup, unsweetened cocoa powder
11/2 tsps of baking soda
1 tsp of baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 tsp of vanilla essence
1 1/2 tbsps of instant coffee powder
1 cup of hot water
2 eggs

In a large bowl, sieve the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the sugar and mix well with the dry ingredients.

Make a well in the center and add the milk, oil, vanilla essence and beaten eggs and mix. Finally add the hot coffee melted in the cup of hot water and mix.

Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pans and bake in the middle rack of the oven (180ºC) for 40 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Start checking from 35 mins onwards.

Cool for 30 mins before inverting onto a wire rack.

Meantime lets prepare the ganache:

450g dark chocolate
2 cups of heavy cream

The chocolate must first be chopped into small pieces so that it will melt evenly.

Put chocolate into a large heatproof bowl. Bring 2 cups of cream just to a boil over medium-high heat or put for 3 mins in microwave; pour over chocolate. Let stand 10 minutes.
