STRAWBERRY AND CHOCOLATE MOUSSE TOTS Desserts do not come much smoother than the mixture of  chocolate , cream and delicate seedless strawberry pure.This mousse is a favourite dessert and easy to make. But however you can substitute with whatever fruits are in season or per your choice. It has layers of brownie layer,mouse layer and strawberry layer. You can make this if you have guests coming over your place and it is the easiest dessert to make. You can either buy brownies or you can make them at home yourself.As for me i like everything homemade i make my own brownies.

Honey Comb

Image
HONEY COMB ( KHALIATI NAHAL) This is an Arabic pull apart bread which is filled with feta cheese and left to absorb a nectar of sugar syrup.  Khaliat Nahal  translates to Beehive in Arabic. The  rolls are orchestrated like an apiary design and hence the name  Khaliat   Nahal/honeycomb. Let me warn you that this is not a venture you can embrace in the morning and have it prepared in time for breakfast. The dough requires careful kneading and time for the yeast to do its thing. It's no big surprise we're likewise lifting them up from a Yemeni pastry shop. Although i use condensed milk for my topping syrup instead of golden syrup. It tastes soo yummyy and it makes the bread stays for days unlike the normal syrup i find it slopppy. Anywayss i hop you all love it. Ingredients: 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1 cup milk 2 tbsp milk powder 1/2 cup water 1 egg 3 tbsp sugar 4 tbsp oil 4 tbsp melted butter 1 1/2 tsp instant yeast 1/2 ts...
