Yummy Rainbow Treat

Kids party and it kind of starts making me cook up plans to do the best of cusines as possible, something innovative and something gorgeous which gives an eye appeal and is absolutely stunning and fascinating. I love experimenting with the ingredients available on my kitchen shelf. It was my daughter's idea to have jellies for the birthday party as she was confident that its the kids weakness. I felt I should play with colours and there it was, really fabulously looking gorgeous glasses filled with the chiiled dessert. Here I've used three flavours of jelly and two flavours of custard to give that beautiful look which would definately leave the kids mouth watering.

INGREDIENTS

Ready made Jelly - Three Flavours (Pineapple, Apple and Strawberry)

Custard - Vanilla Flavour

Tooty Fruity

Transparent party disposable glasses

METHOD-

Prepare custard and jelly as per packet instructions.

Chill the custard and jelly seperately.

Tip in the strawberry flavoured jelly such a way that part of custard is visible.

Give a sprinkling of the tooty-fruity green coloured for the final touch.

It's done. Chill well in the refrigerator before serving.

An absolutely yummy treat is ready for the kids in minutes.

Strawberry Smoothie

The lip smacking fruit "Strawberry", is a red coloured fruit which has a bright appearance and looks really tempting. The goodness quotient of Strawberry is that it is packed with vitamins especially Vitamin 'C' and is a powerful antioxidant which reduces aging factors. The kids should get a daily dose of Vitamins and the strawberry can be of great help. Children get tempted to buy it but when actually served cannot have more than one or two as it tastes sour. Same was with my kids so I thought to present strawberries in a form which should be really presentable, eye catching and also very good to the taste-buds. So all Moms enjoy presenting this recipe to your kids and let me know your feedback.

Strawberry Smoothie
Strawberries - 1 box,
Milkmaid - 1/2 tin
Readymade Edible Cream - 3 tspns

Method - Chop Strawberries, reserve a few for garnishing and make a puree of the rest in the food processor. Add milkmaid and cream to the puree.

Pour this in seperate glasses and decorate with a piece of shopped strawberr.

Chill in the refrigerator.

And serve.

Note :- The sweetness can be reduced by reducing the quantity of milkmaid.

If you require a thin consistency, add little cold milk to it.
