ππ Celebrating My Solar Return With You ππ
β₯οΈπ Thank you so much for wishing me a happy solar return! Iβm grateful for your kind words and for celebrating this special day with me. Thank you for making my solar return so memorable! I had such a wonderful time, and it was made even better by your presence, wishes, gifts, admiration, support and love. Iβm feeling so blessed to have friends, family, business associates, co-collaborators, supporters and dreamers like you. Thank you for your birthday wishes and for being a part of my life. And for the gift of you. Iβm so grateful for you! πβ₯οΈ
I have loved. I have won. I have learnt. And I have changed 4 the better. Learning, unlearning and relearning has been difficult, but I have grown so much from life. I have learnt that people can hurt you so deeply and not even worry about you and then there are those who may have known you just for a bit but care so deeply for you. Iβve met great people, but mean people as well. But the most important thing I have learnt is that every person in this world is strong, without an exception, if they so choose. People come and people go, but I go on 4ever and thatβs life! π
β₯οΈβ₯οΈ One thing I absolutely love and adore about myself is, no matter how Iβm feeling, no matter what Iβve been through or what I am going through, I still have a ππheart of goldππ and endless love to give. Thatβs one thing no one can ever take away from me. β₯οΈβ₯οΈ
To kick in this solar return I did something different, baked myself my bday cake without the hassle of actually baking, itβs an ice-cream-chocolate-coconut-lemon-cookie cake (recipe below π); the foodie in me found Maharaja Bhog (they operate in UAE, Canada, USA, and India. Specifically, they operate in the following cities Dubai, Houston, Mississauga, Pune and Mumbai. The concept is, dine like the Maharajaβs of India used to. See the pics, itβs royal regal and yum! And yes, I managed to eat all that was on my plate. You smile, but that an accomplishment 4 I π who eats like a sparrow π. A must try. The green leafy thing in the pics is called βPaanβ, itβs eaten after your meal, tastes real yum and has digestive benefits.); gave myself 20 days of βme timeβ (being the one always running around creating immense value for everyone around made this a much deserved and much needed βme timeβ.) π; came back to the sad news of Pope Francisβ demise (may his soul rest in peace) and of course a world of Tariffs! Ok ok Iβll fix the tariff pro world; I do have a plan of action (I have 50% of tariff free world under control), and it needs all nation heads to agree to it and unite in its execution (thatβs the 50% I donβt control). Stay tuned for more on it.
Iβm excited to see what this solar year brings. Perhaps marriage, my husband-lover-companion-romance-bff my all-in-one, kids, the whole happy world π!
Sending each of you who wished me a happy solar return my warmest wishes for happiness and loads of love! Hugs π€!!
Time for your π€π Return Gift ππ€ from me to you π€
And now for the recipe:
πβ₯οΈ Ice Cream-Chocolate-Coconut-Lemon-Cookie Cake β₯οΈπ
Ingredients:
Oreo Choco Cookies: 5 packs
Hide & Seek Chocolate Cookies: 3 packs
Fresh Cream: 400 ml
Sweetened Condensed Milk: 250 ml
Green Pumpkin Seeds: 100 gms
Sunflower Seeds: 100 gms
Ghee: 5 tablespoons
Lemon Juice: lemon juice of 12 big lemons
Shredded Coconut: 100 gms
Cocoa Powder: 2 Tablespoons
A flat bowl as see in pics to setup the entire ice-cream cake.
Procedure:
1. In a pan add 1 tablespoon of ghee and roast the green pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and coconut. Roast each of them separately and keep each of them separate.
2. In a blender add 3 packs of Oreo choco cookies and 2 packs of Hide & Seek Chocolate Cookies. To it add 2 tablespoons of ghee. Blend them together.
3. The blended mixer use it as the base of the ice-cream cake by pressing an even layer of the mixer in the bowl. Ensure you coat the sides of the bowl with the mixer as well. If the blended mixer is too dry add 1 more tablespoon of ghee to make it easier for you to create an even layer of the cookie mixer in the bowl.
4. Now in a separate bowl add sweetened condensed milk + lemon juice + roasted coconut + cocoa powder. Mix this well so that it is well blended together. Finally add the fresh cream to it and mix it all together.
5. The cream mixer that we have prepared in step 4 transfer it to our bowl of cookie layer. Ensure you have an even layer of cream mixer.
6. Blend the remaining packs of Oreo Choco Cookies and Hide & Seek Cookie. Spead this crushed cookie mixer on top of the cream layer.
7. Finally garnish with roasted Green-Pumpkin seeds and Sunflower seeds.
8. Leave it to set in the freezer for 5 hours.
9. Enjoy your ice-cream cake once set!
10. Bon appΓ©tit! π
