Everyone loves chocolate, age/gender being no bar. And it is being incorporated in Indian desserts in a big way. Chocolate burfi, chocolate sandesh, chocolate lassi are some of the common examples. My kid is no exception to this rule and i try to use this flavor to camouflage items that he normally avoids.
This is one of my kid's favorite. And it is super easy to prepare. Read on for the recipe:
Preparation Time - 10-12 mins
Ingredients - 3 tbs semolina/suji, 1 tsp cocoa powder, 1 tbs almond meal, 2 tsp chopped cherries/tutti-frutti, 3 tsp sugar, 1 cup milk, 10-12 drops vanilla essence, 1-2 tsp butter .
Cooking - Dry roast the semolina and almond meal on a pan. Remove and keep aside.
Heat the milk in a wok. Take a few teaspoons of the warm milk in a cup, add the cocoa powder and dissolve it. Pour the chocolate mix back into the wok.
Add sugar, vanilla essence, almond meal and roasted semolina. Stir the contents for 3-4 minutes on a low to medium flame till a viscous mixture is formed (this will harden further on cooling). Stir in the butter and cherries/tutti-frutti.
Allow to cool down slightly and then fill into molds. Remove from mold when ready to serve.
Serve warm or chilled. (Garnish with nuts if desired.)
