Time: 10 mins ( leaving freezing time)

Ingredients 

2 big size , nice ripe mangoes, roughly chopped

3 kiwis, peeled and roughly chopped 

Sugar to taste ( depend on sweetness of mango), I used 4 tbsp for mango and 3 tbsp for kiwi

Method:

Take mango , sugar and some water, if needed ,in a blender and churn to nice thick smooth paste.

Similarly make paste of kiwi, sugar and some water.

 

** Don't add too much water as we want nice thick paste not runny liquid. Too much of water may lead to excess ice crystals in your final outcome.

Now pour the prepared mango paste in Ice cream molds till half filled and keep in freezer for 10-15 mins. Now fill another half with kiwi paste and place the mold sticks . Now again keep it in freezer overnight or minimum 6-7 hrs.

Now demold Popsicles  by putting mold under running water. Serve and see the happiness on faces , without any guilt.

* Your prepared paste should be thick like idli batter. 

*You can also use canned mango pulp, nearly 1 cup.

* Adjust sweetness as per your taste.

* You can also add some fruit chunks if your kids like, as mine are so fussy to have fruit chunks in their Popsicle so I avoided. 

* You can also use any other fruit of your choice to make it more personalized to your Taste buds

OATS MANGO KULFI WITHOUT CREAM

Hello everyone

Who don't like kulfi or ice creams, but if it's made of oats then? Wow.... Yes , it's absolute taste with health. I always tried to skip Ice creams and kulfis due to creams added in it but now no issues. An idea strikes me few days back that if I can use oats in my pasta to make it creamy and saucy then why not give it a try in some sweet treat. Suddenly my kid demanded ice cream , so thought to try this in kulfi first and the result was awesome. My fussy eater too loved it , what else is needed. Happy kids, satisfied mom, that's all😊😊. It's very easy, minimum cooking kulfi with seasonal fruit, mango. Recipe is given below, hope it comes up to your expectations.

OATS MANGO KULFI WITHOUT CREAM

Yield: 1- 1 1/4 lt 

Time: 20 mins ( freezing time excluded)

Ingredients 

3/4 cup oats

2 1/2 cup milk

2 1/2- 3 cup mango puree  ( pulp of four medium sized ripe mangoes)

1 tin condensed milk ( 395gms)

Chopped dry fruits ( optional)

1 tsp mango essence ( optional)

Method :

First of all soak oats in milk for 20-30 mins. Then cook it till nicely done. Let it cool then in a grinder make its smooth and creamy puree. Use more milk if needed, as the puree should be thick creamy but of pouring consistency.

Now add mango puree , condensed milk, dry fruits( I skipped) and essence to it. Mix well and fill in kulfi molds .

 Freeze for at least 7-8 hrs or overnight. Your yummy kulfi is ready to serve.

If your mangoes are not so sweet then add some sugar as per your taste. Adding dry fruits is optional, but I will recommend you to add as it will hide that little taste of oats in kulfi.

If you don't want to add mango in your kulfi then substitute it with equal amount of thickened milk of same consistency and lots of dry fruits.

Use kulfi mold is also recommended, as freezing in big bowl may lead to formation of ice crystals in it. Then you should churn it again after half frozen to avoid ice crystals .

I used M&M 's tubes to make kulfi as don't have kulfi molds, so you can also use your jugaad.😊

Your simple, easy and healthy kulfi is ready for health conscious kulfi lovers and fussy eaters too.

Hope you all will like this healthy addition to traditional sweet treat , please pour your valuable comments, queries and suggestions here, they meant a lot.

LOW FAT VEG MANGO CHEESE CAKE

Hello everyone

In summer, there are mangoes and mangoes everywhere . Everyone is just mad on mangoes these days , making mango cakes, mango ice creams, mango pudding, mango jelly and many more in the row. I am also one of them😊 So after trying my hands on mango jelly and ice cream , now I thought of trying mango cheese cake for first time. But its richness of calories made me always hesitate to try , though I am too fond of trying healthy and guilt free cooking, so came up with a healthy substitute of fatty cheese and cream used in this cake. Accidentally or you can say luckily my 1 1/2 lt of milk got cuddled and hence I got a golden chance for my experiment. As I was not so sure for the perfect end result so missed to click all steps pics but to my surprise, the final outcome is just wow and of course a guilt free dessert.

Recipe is given below, hope you all will definitely like it.

LOW FAT VEG MANGO CHEESE CAKE

Ingredients 

1 1/2 lt milk 

1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar 

1 1/3 cup mango puree 

2 tbsp sugar, you can add more

5 gm agar agar( China grass)

3/4 cup water

12-15 any sweet biscuit, I used 4 belvita biscuits 

1 tsp ghee or butter

Method:

First of all boil milk, then add lemon juice or vinegar , little by little till it get cuddle. Then strain it in a muslin or any fine cotton cloth. Wash it under tap water to remove sourness of vinegar or lemon from cheese. Then squeeze it well and hang some where for at least 1 hr to drain excess water in it. Now your cheese is ready to use.

Soak agar agar strips in water for at least 20 mins. Then take 3/4 cup of water in a pan, add soaked agar agar and boil. After boiling, lower the flame and let it simmer till agar agar get completely dissolved in water. In meanwhile take cheese in mixer and churn till smooth, both not too much. Now add 1 cup mango pulp and sugar in it and churn again for 2-3 pulses only. Now pour it in a bowl.

Now make powder of biscuits in a mixer and add ghee or butter in it. Take a greased pan of your choice, spread this biscuit ghee mixture in it evenly and press with a spatula to get a firm base.

Now in cheese mango mixture add agar agar liquid, little more than half the quantity. Mix well and pour it on biscuit base evenly. Tap the pan to remove any air bubble formed .  Keep the pan in freezer for 10 mins. Now take 1/3 cup of mango puree and add rest of agar agar liquid and mix well. Now take out the pan from freezer and pour this mango puree all over it evenly and tap the pan to get smooth surface. Now keep the pan in refrigerator overnight. For demolding , run a clean knife along its sides so that it leave the edges of pan then carefully invert it on a chilled plate and then invert it once again on serving plate, and done. But will suggest to either use spring form mold or use butter paper in base to make it easier to demold as mine got little deformed in inverting twice.

 Your mildly sweet guilt free veg mango cheese cake is ready to serve.

Be careful with agar agar, as it can set at room temp too. So when we have to wait for next step then keep agar agar mixture bowl in boiling hot water to avoid its jelly formation. If you want good sweet dessert then you can add more sugar to cheese mixture and also some sugar can be added in upper mango mixture too.

This is so creamy and scrumptious desserts that can make you star of any party you are hosting. Just try once you will never regret. Hope you all will definitely give it a try and pour your queries, comments and suggestions ,they meant a lot to me.
