Cinnabuns with Chocolate sauce by Plusha
]¼ cup oil+ ¼ cup icing sugar+ ¼ cup powdered milk+ 1 cup warm water + 1 tsp yeast. Blend all the ingredients
Take 2 ¼ cup plain flour + 1 tsp yeast. Knead the dough with the help of above blended mixture. Keep the dough in a warm place till it raises a bit approx 20 mins. With the help of flour and rolling pin, roll the dough to make a big chapatti. It shouldn’t be too thick or thin. Sprinkle approx 1 cup brown sugar all over the rolled chapatti and then sprinkle generous amount of cinnamon powder approx half cup. Roll it gradually and carefully just like a Swiss roll and then cut the roll into 1 inch pieces and then bake it on a greased baking tray until the buns become light brown. Make sure they don’t turn too dark otherwise it’ll harden.
Sauce: 100 g butter+ ½ cup icing sugar + 200g Philadelphia cream cheese + 1 tsp vanilla essence + 1 tsp lemon essence. Blend!
The sauce which I made is ½ tin condensed milk + 1 ½ packet cream + 100 g butter + 1tsp vanilla essence. Blend and pour over the baked cinnabuns. Sprinkle chopped walnuts and you can pour Hershey’s chocolate sauce over it while serving. Enjoy!

Trifle by Shumaisa
1 litre Milk
4 tbsp custard powder
1 cup Sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 tbsp whipped cream
Method:
Mix the custard powder into 1/4 cup of the milk. Bring the rest of the milk to a boil. Lower the heat and add the sugar, vanilla essence, custard solution. Mix well and let it come to a boil again, stirring all the time so that it does not scorch. After it comes to a boil again, take it off the heat and add whipped cream, mix well and let it cool.
Arrange half of the cake slices at the bottom of your serving dish. Pour the juice or milk and allow to soak for 5 minutes.
Layer half of the fruit (mango), half of the fruit jelly on top of the cake.. Next the custard poured carefully over the contents of the bowl...
When the custard has set.. To garnish the custard - Mixed fruit of choice, cut into small pieces. I have used fresh mango, cherries, fruit jelly, and brownie/cake.. Keep chilled until it is served.

Recipe for blueberry Muffins by Shab-e-Hijar
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 ounces (about 1 cup) sour cream
1/4 cup milk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 half-pints fresh blueberries, picked through for stems
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 16 paper liners in muffin pans.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla, sour cream, and milk. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low speed add the flour mixture to the batter and beat until just mixed. Fold in the blueberries with a spatula and be sure the batter is completely mixed.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pans, filling each cup just over the top, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the muffins are lightly browned on top and a cake tester comes out clean.

Sooji Halwa by Lusi
Sooji 1 cup
Besan 3 tbsp
All Purpose Flour 2 tbsp
Sugar 2 cups (or add less like 1.5 or 1.75 cups if you don't want too metha)
Oil almost half cup
Water 3 cups
Cardamom 4-6
In a pot heat oil, add cardamom (kind of opened) and add sooji. Bhonafy sooji till goldenish brown. keep stirring it while bhonafying it. Then add besan, bhonafy it for couple mins, then add all purpose flour and do the same thing. Then add sugar, slightly incorporate in the sooji besan mixture and quickly add water. Stir the mixture, keep it on medium heat and cover it. After few mins again stir. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover it and keep checking every few mins. When you see that sooji has absorbed all the water, and the halwa is not sticking to the sides of the pan, it means it is almost ready. bring the heat to low and leave it on dum for few mins. When done garnish and enjoy!
Oh and I added food color after adding water to the sooji. If you want yellow halwa then just add food color otherwise your halwa will be beige brownish color....lol
Oh and if you feel that it still needs cooking time and it is burning from the bottom, then reduce the heat and if you have a tawa or that thing you put under the pots for dum, use that. Though I was using a non stick pan but I still ended up putting the tawa under the pot so it doesn't burn. Oh and stir frequently

Chocolate covered strawberries by Correupt Angel
Well there's a trick to get it right which is you boil some water in a saucepan and then put a bowl on top, you have to make sure the water in the saucepan does NOT touch the bowl. Put chopped chocolates and keep stirring. Dont leave it by itself or chocolate will get hot and dry instead of melting. Dip strawberries in melted choc and then in coconut or anything else you like and then place on parchment paper. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until cooled.

Danish pastry by Shab-e-Hijar
Ingredients
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 egg yolk, plus 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 heaping cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling out dough
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 sheet store bought frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 (6-ounce) jar high quality fruit preserves (recommended: Cherry)
- Special Equipment: rolling pin
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a small bowl combine the mascarpone, egg yolk, sugar, flour and vanilla. Stir until just combined and then set aside.
Dust the puff pastry with flour and roll with a rolling pin to flatten and smooth.
Place the puff pastry on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Schmear the mascarpone down the middle of the puff pastry lengthwise into a 3-inch wide strip. Spoon the fruit preserves on top of the mascarpone.
Using sharp kitchen shears cut the long sides of the pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Cut towards the cheese filling but stop about 1-inch before you get to the filling. This result will look like fringy pastry. Alternating sides, fold 1 piece of the fringe over the cheese and jelly mixture. The result will look like a braided pastry with fruit preserve peeking through. Brush the dough with the beaten egg yolk mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before serving. Cut into strips to serve.
