I
can’t let this month go without a post. My first post for this year. This
post has been in my drafts since Christmas, I was going to post it as a holiday
indulgence but it took me 6 weeks to finally sit down and publish it. Anyway better
late than never ! I know this is the month of New Year’s resolution and
maybe some of you maybe trying to eat healthy and stay away from
Indulging, but once in a while cheating is okay. To ward off the winter blues
we need some indulgence and this is a perfect recipe for it.
I made this dessert for a dinner party and this was a big hit and
usually crowd pleasing recipes like this, especially desserts makes it's way to
the blog for my own reference.
I have posted a sticky toffee pudding recipe as a guest post
for Manju’s
blog long time back but this is a different recipe. It’s
so easy to make and tastes divine !
