Sugar Free Dessert Challenge: Nutty Chocolate Biscuit Cake

This Diwali, I made these nutty biscuit cakes & they turned out yum! When you pop one into your mouth, you won't even know, that the recipe is so simple. I've made these a couple of times earlier & they're always a great dessert when you crave for a sweet after a meal.

Nutty Chocolate Biscuit Cake

 So here goes:

Time required- 4 hours 

12 digestive/Marie biscuits
1 cup toasted almonds/Pistachio/cashew nuts/dates
¼ cup cocoa powder
2 tbsp butter/vegetable oil
1 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp water
Sugarfree Natura pellets as per taste

Dry roast the nuts of your choice (I added cashews, dates and walnuts) for a few minutes and crush lightly to get a coarse powder. Add finely chopped dates to the mixture of roasted walnuts & cashews.
Crushed Biscuits & Nuts & Cocoa Syrup

Break all the biscuits ( I used digestive biscuits, you can also use Marie biscuits) into small pieces.

Heat butter or vegetable oil (odorless) in a pan and add cocoa in it. Mix the syrup well, take pan off the flame and pour honey in the cocoa syrup. Add sugarfree natura to this. 

Pour this syrup in the crushed nuts and biscuits mixture and mix it well. Add water little by little to make a hard dough.

Grease a small bread baking tin and place a parchment paper in it leaving enough of paper outside the tin.


Place the cookie dough in a small baking tin and pat with your hands or back of a ladle lightly to fill the tin. 

Refrigerate the baking tray for 3-4 hours.

Slice it into thin slices/ or squares using a sharp knife. Garnish with dry fruits or powdered sugar. And voila!! The delicious biscuit cakes are ready to eat!

 This recipe used SugarFree Natura (http://sugarfree-india.com/) & honey, making it a healthy dessert. 

Hope you'll like it! Do let me know once you guys try it out! :)

A yellow sunny day Surrounded by lavender fields, I felt as happy as a daisy Under a blue sky with wisps of white clouds blowing steadily A tiny brown squirrel scurried near me Hunting for acorns amidst the greenery. As Twilight approached, Draped in shades of orange and red, The grey crescent moon appeared A regular visitor Shining brighter as the night got blacker. Do you see the rainbow too? As the days pass and turn to years , Your Life in technicolor...

"I dream, therefore I exist"

She dreamed about it, day & night Knowing it was too good to be true.  Wanting for it to happen with all her might But being practical was her virtue. Some told her to pray, others to visualize Saying, work your way, don’t see left or right. Work she did, day & night, Her goal, though not in sight. One day, her dream stared her in the face She was too numb to react “Dreams do come true. I can’t believe it, “, she cried “Maybe, I was too afraid, I’d fail” she said & smiled.

Parenting is a tough job, & trying to be a friend to your child at the same time can be a difficult task. However, playing a dual role of a parent & a friend need not be kept separate. As long as you create the trust between your child & you, & make them aware of the boundaries & limits, its manageable.  Sometimes, they will require you to be a parent, asking you for advice, coming to you for sympathy & a shoulder to cry on. You as a parent also need to respect your child in many ways. Your child is looking for advice and guidance from you and you are, in a way, their role model whether they want to admit it or not. Parents these days are afraid to refuse the demands of their kids but its OK to say no sometimes. Giving in to your child's wishes may lead to extreme stubbornness in latter years. Hence, it is important to know where to draw the line and know where to be a parent and not to please them because you do not want them upset or angry at you
