Earl Grey Ice Cream is the perfect dessert recipe for International Tea Day, which is an American invention and the perfect dessert if you happen to have an ice cream maker at home. Use that big box of Earl Grey tea sitting in your pantry to try this ice cream recipe today. It uses just six ingredients and is custardy with a greyish tinge that carries the distinctive bergamot and black tea flavour that is typical of Earl Grey tea. The ice cream making follows the classic custard ice cream recipe method using a mix of whole milk, half and half, and sugar, which are heated and steeped with Earl Grey tea bags. Then this warm concoction is tempered into egg yolks whisked with vanilla extract. The mixture is cooked until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. It is then chilled before churning in an ice cream maker. This ice cream recipe by no means is healthybut is worth the indulgence on special occasions, especially if you really love your tea. You can swap Earl Grey for your favourite tea flavour, be it tea bags or whole leaf ones. Make sure to brew a strong batch of tea to get the maximum flavour in your ice cream.

No-Bake Cheesecake with Mango Coulis brings together the richness of cream cheese and the bright sweetness of Alphonso mangoes in a chilled dessert that works beautifully during hot weather. Since this cheesecake sets inside the refrigerator, it avoids extra kitchen heat and still delivers a smooth texture with a clean mango flavour. The buttery biscuit layer made with Sunfeast Marie Light adds a light crunch that balances the creamy filling perfectly. Fridge-set cheesecakes became popular because they simplified classic baked cheesecake methods while keeping the same indulgent taste. In Indian summers, mango-based desserts naturally become centrepieces at gatherings, and this recipe takes inspiration from seasonal fruit desserts served during mango harvest months. Hung curd keeps the filling lighter while still helping it hold shape after chilling. The fresh mango topping also works as a glossy fruit sauce rather than an artificial syrup. Many home bakers now prefer this style of mango cheesecake recipe because it requires simple equipment and gives consistent results without water baths or ovens. The mango coulis spreads gently across the cheesecake and creates a bright finish that feels refreshing after heavy meals.

Khapli atta (including products like Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta) is an ancient wheat flour that has surged in popularity in the recent decade or so, thanks to its high fibre and higher nutritional content, which meet the demands of the modern crowd trying to eat healthier. While rotis and parathas are the norm for khapli atta, there are other avenues it can benefit from, like baking. But given that khapli wheat has a weaker gluten structure, higher fibre, and greater water absorption, its dough needs extra care and more water, as it tends to be less elastic and denser than whole wheat flour. Pretzels, on the other hand, which can be made with khapli atta, have a long history dating back centuries and are one of the oldest known twisted breads. They are believed to have originated in medieval Europe, possibly in monasteries, where bakers shaped dough into a knot resembling folded arms in prayer as a symbolic food reward. Over time, pretzels became associated with good luck, religious symbolism, and eventually snacking. When you combine these two ideas, khapli atta and pretzels, you get a fusion version of a historic old recipe. Using Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta in pretzels shifts the texture away from the classic soft, chewy wheat structure toward something more earthy, dense, and nutty. The dough becomes more fragile during shaping, and the pretzel loses some elasticity and shine, but gains complexity in flavour and a darker crust.
