Fruit Delight in Bowls

I was craving for the Fruit Delight dessert again but there was no party or get together coming up so making up a whole huge dish was useless.

The question was how to make it in small quantity as we are only 2 members of the family to eat it up. And then here I thought that why not try the same recipe in individual bowls?

The experiment went successful and the great thing about it was that it was much easier and quicker to make...

For those of you who missed the original recipe, here is the link Fruit Delight

The only difference I made here is that instead of using condensed milk, I just mixed some icing sugar with cream to make it sweet and it tasted great. Also I covered the whole top of the dessert with the chocolate sauce. Yummy!  isnt it?

Wow! isnt it too tempting for the tastebuds?  One of my all time favourites....and the best thing about it is that it doesnt take much time and effort to make these cute little balls..hehe
Here is how its made:

Ingredients:

Powder Milk                 2 cups

Flour or semolina          1 tbsp

Baking Powder             2 tsp

Ghee                           1 tbsp

Sugar                          2 cups

Water                          2 cups

egg                              1

Kewra water                 Few drops

Recipe:

Mix flour, egg, baking powder and milk powder alongwith ghee and make a dough using a few warm water drops. Make small balls from it and let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes.

For sheera, take 2 cups water and mix the sugar. Put it on medium flame until sugar is dissolved completely. Keep it warm on very low flame.

Take a Pan, heat up oil and fry the balls on low flame. When the balls turn light brown, take them out and put them directly into the sheera. Cook on low flame for a few minutes so that the sheera is absorbed in the balls. Now pour a few drops of kewra water and let it cool down before serving.

Now mix both the coffee paste and the gelatin paste. Beat the chilled cream over a bowl of iced water for about 3 to 4 mins. Its quantity will increase. Now add condensed milk. Mix it properly and then mix the coffee paste in it.

Now Pour chocolate sauce over the inner edges of four glasses or bowls, they should start dripping inside the glasses. Now pour the mixture in the bowls. Again pour the chocolate sauce over the mixture in swirls. Now take a skewer or toothpick and make the flower pattern of the chocolate sauce. Refrigerate for some time and chill before serving.
