Aug 10, 2020 I make no churn ice creams on repeat during summers. To tell you guys the truth, I do have an ice cream attachment with my stand mixer and I have used it in the past. But mostly, I am just lazy to take it out and prepare the base and chill it. So, when the ice cream craving kicks in, I want to make it immediately and since no churn ice creams are so easy, I always end up making them....
I had never heard of makhana until I came to the USA. Then, my neighbor from Bihar told me about makhana and its benefits.

What is Makhana? Makhanas are popularly known as lotus seeds, fox nuts, Euryale Ferox, gorgon nuts, and Phool makhana....

If you’re looking for a low-fuss, high-flavor perfect for Fall dessert, then it’s time to give these stuffed apples a try! These stuffed cinnamon baked apples combined cored apples with an apple-crisp style filling combining oats, apple, cinnamon and other warming spices, brown sugar or maple syrup, and butter or coconut oil. Once stuffed, bake the apples until tender – like a perfectly portioned apple-crisp! The result is a dessert that perfectly encompasses Fall and is worryingly addictive when paired with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and some caramel sauce!...
