Raspberry (Cheese)cake
Around V Day I went to La Madeleine’s Bakery and Cafe for a work meeting with a really nice person. He was kind enough to order a capuccino and a Raspberry Cheesecake, huge as it was in the shape of a heart [since my right brain is disabled, I will use the same shape too], just for me. When people order stuff for me to eat, I feel cared for. I have to mention that at this point I had completely given up on caffeine related products and I have never liked Raspberry or Cheesecake. But I finished both of it, because what was supposed to be a 30 minute conversation turned out to be a 2 + hour discussion. I never felt time pass, clearly I was having fun
That has been the only time I had eaten raspberry so far….
And here comes the event
http://ammaluskitchen.info/2008/05/01/announcing-afam-raspberry/
Ingredients: 1 Litre of Milk
2 Tbsp Sugar
1 spoon of Rosewater
1 pinch of Saffron
1 Tbsp of Ghee
Raspberries
Directions:
Boil the milk with Saffron

Add sugar, rosewater, and ghee.

Once it becomes semi-solid, lower the flame.

This, by itself is very tasty. I moved it to a seperate dish, forgetting all about raspberries.

Now, I remembered the event and wanted to go and buy organic raspberries and a heart-shaoed cookie cutter. But my husband was trying to "SAMPLE" this for quite sometime. I literally had to push him away and hide this in the freezer before I left to buy the fruit.
Then this happened:




Pictures look great. I’m not sure if pictures can justify the taste. Good effort. Keep up your cooking sense.
Next year make it as valentine’s treat.
Sashi,
I know you are just being upset because I did not share with you, Remember The Fox & Grapes,
Muni was saying it is because I am using Braum’s milk.
All in all, I am not going to make anything for you people, not even for tomorrow’s lunch!!!!

Gosh, these pictures look GREAT!
Vidya, you should have been there to taste it, except it was all gone before even attaining room temperature.
