An awesome Dessert idea by me for iftaar time friends. I had made this for Iftaar as well in Ramadan. Have a look at it and decide upon it at your next iftaar meal with your loved ones. I tell you it is damn easy and pretty much satisfying one at that. The best part is, it is made with Dates and hence you literally cut down on Sugars that are harmful in many ways than one. Go for a guilt free Dessert this festive season with this gorgeous one that looks lovely and eye catching on your table.
Though I had first made it for Iftaar meals but it has now become a constant feature in my home.
I make this very often and is an excellent option for an aftermeal Dessert. Kids will definitely want more of it. So let's get started.
Happy Dessert Time Everyone!
Happy Festive Season !
Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
