Raising twins can be daunting and divine in the same breath. Taking care of their smallest of needs can be quite overwhelming .While they are young and only on a milk diet it is easier to handle than they actually start gaining a sense of taste and hence the fussiness that comes along with it. My girls started solid food when they were seven months old , they tend to get very choosy at times and anything repetitive is unacceptable. I hence ending up looking up the internet for recipes that could be enjoyed by my darlings as well as ones that aren't too difficult to put together. This is one such recipe , that could be had for breakfast or even as dessert drink post lunch. It isn't too difficult to make and has all the good things like figs , almonds and other nuts that make it a nourishing concoction ! One could even replace certain ingredients to reduce the richness in terms of calories.
Ingredients
1.5 cups vanilla ice cream (one could use homemade yoghurt too)
2 tablespoons honey (might need more if the ice-cream is replaced with yoghurt)
8 figs soaked overnight
8 almonds soaked overnight (separately)
1 cup milk or as per required thickness
Pistachio and/or almond slivers for garnishing
How to put it together
Soak figs overnight , peel the soaked almonds
Add honey to it and crush the fig-almond mix well in a blender.
Blend well once milk and yoghurt/ice-cream has been added
Pour in wide mouthed transparent glasses
Garnish with pistachio and/or almond slivers .
This recipe makes about 4 servings
