The holy month of Ramadan is almost over! It’s been a time for me to reflect and pray. During Ramadan, I fast from sunrise to sunset, and when it’s time to break my fast, I enjoy a delicious meal called iftar. Iftar meals usually include Haleem, savory snacks, and yummy desserts.

Speaking of desserts, Parmalat custard is a pantry staple that I always have on hand. It’s a versatile and affordable option that can be enjoyed hot or cold. I love using it to add a creamy touch to classic desserts like malva pudding, jelly, and trifle. It takes these treats to a whole new level!

Let’s kick things off with an easy and quick recipe: the Two-Ingredient Custard Milkshake.

– 500g Parmalat Vanilla Flavored custard

– 500ml Parmalat Full Cream Milk

– Optional: Cinnamon and sugar to suit your taste

Now, let’s get to the method:

1. Start by freezing the milk in an ice block tray.

2. Once the milk is frozen, put the milk cubes and Parmalat custard in a blender and blend until it becomes frothy.

3. Pour your milkshake into a glass and savor every sip!

Now, let’s move on to another delectable treat: sticky date pudding.

Next up, I want to introduce you to Zorah Booley Samaai, a food photographer and cookbook author. She has a sweet tooth and loves desserts that have a fruity twist. Today, I’ll be sharing her recipe for a delicious dessert that you’re going to love!

Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

– 226g of Medjool dates

– 1 ¼ cups of boiling milk

– 1 teaspoon of baking powder

– 7 tablespoons of softened butter

– ½ cup of brown sugar

– 2 large eggs, at room temperature

– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

– 1 ⅓ cups of cake flour

– 1 teaspoon of baking powder

– ½ teaspoon of salt

For the toffee sauce, you’ll need:

– ⅓ cup of salted butter

– 1 cup of whipping cream

– 1 cup of brown sugar

– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

And for the topping, you’ll need:

– Parmalat Vanilla Flavoured custard

– 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream

Now, let’s get started with the method:

1. First, preheat your oven to 180°C.

2. Grease a round cake tin with butter and set aside.

3. In a bowl, pour the boiling milk over the dates and let them soak for 5 minutes. Then, using a fork, mash the dates until they form a chunky paste.

4. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

5. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.

6. In another bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the date mixture. Begin and end with the dry mixture.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.

8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. While the cake is baking, prepare the toffee sauce. In a saucepan, melt the salted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the whipping cream, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens into a smooth toffee sauce. Remove from heat and set aside.

10. Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Once the cake has cooled, poke holes all over the top using a skewer or fork.

12. Pour the toffee sauce over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.

13. Serve the cake with a drizzle of the remaining toffee sauce, a dollop of Parmalat Vanilla Flavoured custard, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Enjoy this delightful dessert with its fruity twist! It’s the perfect treat for any occasion. Don’t forget to share it with your friends and family!

First, let’s get the oven ready. Preheat it to 180°C.

Next, we need to prepare our baking tin. Line a 23cm square tin with baking paper and give it a quick spray of non-stick spray. Leave it aside for now.

Now, it’s time to tackle the dates. Chop them up and remove the pits. Then, soak the dates in hot milk and baking soda until they become soft. This usually takes about 15 minutes.

Once the dates are soft, mash them up until they have a paste-like consistency.

Now, grab a stand mixer or an electric whisk. In it, combine the mashed dates, soft butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until it becomes smooth.

With the wet ingredients combined, it’s time to add the dry ones. Mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Now, pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and pop it in the oven. Let it bake for around 30-35 minutes. While the cake bakes, we can prepare the toffee sauce.

Once a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the cake, it means it’s ready!

Once you take the cake out of the oven, grab a toothpick or a fork and start poking holes all over it. This allows the sauce to seep into the cake and make it more flavorful.

In a big pan, mix together all the ingredients for the toffee sauce. Stir until everything is well combined.

Let the sauce simmer for a bit and then pour it over the cake. Make sure to do this right after you’ve poked the holes.

Finally, cut the cake into squares and serve it with some vanilla ice cream and a nice dollop of Parmalat custard. It’s a delicious treat that you’ll love!

Now, let’s move on to the next recipe: Croissant pudding.

For a delightful and cozy treat, let me show you how to make a special twist on a classic French dessert. This recipe is brought to you by Fehmida Osman-Latib, a talented foodie and lifestyle content creator.

Now, let’s gather our ingredients:

– 4-5 Croissants

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.

2. Take the croissants and slice them into thick pieces. Butter both sides of each slice.

3. Put the buttered croissant slices into an oven-proof dish and set it aside.

Now it’s time to make the custard mixture:

1. In a bowl, combine the fresh cream, milk, castor sugar, eggs, vanilla essence, and a pinch of ground cardamom. Mix everything together until well combined.

2. Pour the custard mixture over the buttered croissant slices in the dish, making sure to cover them evenly.

3. Sprinkle a handful of chopped pecan nuts over the custard-soaked croissant slices.

4. Finally, sprinkle the cinnamon powder mixed with brown sugar evenly over the top.

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the custard has set and the top is golden brown.

Once it’s ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with a dollop of Parmalat Vanilla Flavoured custard on top for an extra touch of deliciousness.

4. Bollas filled with delicious custard cream

Let me introduce you to Saadiyah Hendricks, a food lover and expert recipe creator, who brings her own twist to a traditional Cape Malay dish.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup of sugar, plus extra for garnishing
• 30ml of oil
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
• 1 1/4 cup of flour
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 170ml of buttermilk

To make the creamy custard filling, you’ll need:

• 250ml of whipping cream
• 1/4 cup of Parmalat Vanilla Flavored custard
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom, plus extra for garnishing
• Chopped pistachios for garnishing

Here’s how to make it:

1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar until they are well mixed and the mixture is pale.
2. Add the oil and vanilla to the bowl and whisk it all together.
3. First, I sift the flour, baking powder, and cardamom into a bowl. Then I gently fold the ingredients together until they are well mixed.
4. Next, I add the buttermilk to the bowl and whisk everything together until it is fully combined. Then I set it aside to rest while I heat up the oil for frying.
5. In a medium pot over medium heat, I spoon in a tablespoon of dough at a time to make the bollas. I fry them until they turn golden brown on both sides. Then I remove them from the pot and let them drain on a plate lined with a paper towel.
6. While the bollas cool off, I make the filling. I whip together all the ingredients until they form a medium peak.
7. Now it’s time to assemble the bollas. I roll each one in caster sugar, then I slit them open and pipe in the custard filling. Finally, I top them with chopped pistachios and a sprinkle of ground cardamom.
