Saffron Cheesecake … inspired baking!
Saffron Cheesecake …the best thing ever! Smooth, beautifully flavoured, most addictive, so satisfying. I know I’ve said this before, but honestly, this is my ALL TIME favourite cheesecake. Flavouring this beautiful recipe is the best quality saffron I’ve ever used, one from Tahmina International.

Saffron Pistachio Indian Bread Pudding {eggless}
Rich, sweet, festive yet made with staple pantry ingredients, the Saffron Pistachio Indian Bread Pudding is a quintessential Indian dessert, kept light by toasting the bread. Feel free to play around with spices and or/ingredients. The recipe is pretty basic. Use cardamom or star anise, maybe nutmeg for a change in flavour. Skip the condensed milk and use ricotta, mawa/khoya and sugar instead.

Saffron Pistachio Yogurt Ice Cream…Happy IWD
“I’d much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they’re the first to be rescued off sinking ships”Gilda Radner This frozen dessert came out more beautifully than I thought it would. I have been meaning to post it for a bit, but something or the other kept cropping up. The hub sang praises with every spoonful, & no, not because he wanted another helping, but because he truly enjoyed the flavours. Saffron & pistachio compliment each other perfectly, in colour & in soul! It was more creamier than I imagined it would be, it did have a slight tartness of yogurt…

Saffron Pistachio Kulfi … craving kulfi
“Ice cream is exquisite. What a pity it isn’t illegal.” Voltaire Here’s an ice-cream with a difference…an Indian dairy-based frozen dessert. Guess what? You don’t need an ice-cream machine for this!! This is a popular end to Indian meals, a rich & creamy ice-cream, which can be made in many ways, & many flavours. Mango is fast becoming a flavour of choice as far as the kulfi goes, but traditional flavours remain cardamom, saffron & pistachio. This particular recipe works with reducing the quantity of milk to a third by cooking. Another recipe I often use has condensed milk…faster & as delicious. I tried this method since I had run…
