Halwa and some memories..

Some celebrations calls for a sweet, some calls for a feast. I posted this first in 2014 when I completed 3 years of blogging. My Food Blog Sizzling Tastebuds has given me so much happiness – knowing and interacting with so many blogger friends worldwide, (virtually) savoring World Cuisine, and being a humble learner at heart of the nuances of food, from over the globe. As I re-visit this post now in 2023, am grateful for the many heartfelt connections I have made in the blogging world, thanks to this blog !

It has been so fulfilling to interact with so many similar homemakers and astute foodies that it definitely calls for a celebration with this decadent dessert. Thank you dear readers, friends and family for this wonderful support. I am truly blessed.

After Carrot Kheer and Chocolate cake served for the 2nd and 1st anniversaries respectively, I went in for a quasi fusion recipe with Deconstructed Gajar Halwa and Butter Scotch Ice cream.

While the last few years have been tumultuous in more ways than one, being mindful of the mercies and grace we receive, do sit and relax this immensely satiating dessert with deconstructed Gajar Halwa with butter scotch ice cream.

Call it new age food, call it fusion, call it comfort food, this dessert would surely lap up your palate. (Psst : This is also a great way to use up all the gajar halwa you may have made during winter for guests who turned up, and didn’t). Who says you need a masters degree in cooking, when all you need is a little smart work and great presentation – all served with love :-))

What you need to make Deconstructed Gajar Halwa

  • 4 servings Gajar Halwa ( I used the same recipe as my no-ghee Gajar-Lauki Halwa – replacing all Lauki with just Gajar)
  • 4 TBSP Condensed milk 
  • 2 TBSP All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 4 scoops Butterscotch Ice cream (well, vanilla works fine, but butterscotch rules the roost at my place)
  • 2 TBSP Dark / semi sweet Chocolate chips / chocolate shavings or sprinkles or fine cocoa (to balance the sweetness)

How to make Deconstructed Gajar Halwa

  1. Make a slurry of maida and baking powder and salt with very little water (it should be a thinnish batter. Preheat oven to 160 Deg C.
  2. In individual ramekins, add a serving each of Gajar Halwa, mix 1 TBSP of condensed milk milk. Flatten it up a bit.
  3. Now spoon in a thin layer of maida-slurry. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 for just 3-4 mins till it gets crusty on the top.
  4. Cool a bit (just 1 -2 mins), top with ice cream of your choice topped with chocolate (in fact, if you like bitter / dark chocolate, go ahead and use it – it wonderfully offsets the sweet from the halwa and the ice cream)
  5. Serve immediately.

    Wow, what a wonderful way to serve the classic gajar ka halwa. Love how you’ve baked it a bit before adding the ice cream scoop. With a bit chocolate who can resist this deconstructed gajar halwa at a dinner party? Not me!
