Chocolate Gulab Jamuns/Dark Chocolate Gulab Jamuns

Gulab jamuns, these succulent juicy Indian sweets is definitely a must if Indians celebrate a festival, a party, or for a family get-together. Though i live in abroad, even i cant think more than dishing out some juicy gulab jamuns for our parties. Obviously gulab jamuns are our favourite sweets, i have already posted couple of gulab jamuns in my space. However as much as always,sometimes as a blogger we need to think out of the box, hence this chocolate gulab jamuns popped up on my mind. I opened a packet of store bought gulab jamun mix, added two tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to turn the simple gulab jamun as chocolate gulab jamun.

Vegan Double Chocolate Mousse with Aquafaba/Vegan Chocolate Mousse

Recently i had an immense pleasure to experiment Aquafaba (the chickpeas cooked liquid/brine) in one of my favourite dessert, as its replace the egg very brilliantly in all your bakes or in desserts. Actually i want to try my hands since a while with this aquafaba but somehow i was bit skeptical about the taste of this 'incredible vegan egg whites'. One fine day, the kindergarden teacher with whom am working prepared a culinary demonstration to the kids. We simply whipped  an egg white and aquafaba separately to explain the kids about making meringue at home. That day,i tasted the whipped Aquafaba and completely fallen in love with this vegan meringue. I was seriously waiting to give a try with this incredible ingredient during my vacation and finally i did.

If you are looking for a Special bread for Valentine's day, dont forget to take a look at this brioche bread. This bread is quite easy to shape and trust me you can shape them quickly without any difficult. Actually i have been looking for heart shaped bread and i got this pattern from Pinterest. Its a Japanese site and thank god, the author shared some stepwise pictures for making this heart shaped brioche.This brioche dough asks for chocolate bread dough and usual brioche dough. Instead of using unsweetened cocoa powder, i used nutella spread to make the chocolate brioche dough. Obviously we doesnt need any spread to have this brioche, though my kids enjoyed thoroughly with nutella again.
