You’re all that and momo 🥟

A throwback to all the wonderful food with picturesque views in Nepal 🇳🇵
.
Momo mania: dumplings filled with minced meat or vegetables are a Nepali favourite

Dal Bhat Delight: coupled with vegetables pickles and native curries is a wholesome meal

Heavenly Street food: Kathmandu street food scene is a treasure trove of flavours. Our personal favourites were laphing and wai wai chaat

Spicy Newari cuisine: try classics like Newari khaja, platter of spiced meat and beaten rice. Although we didn’t eat this as selective non-vegetarians

Cheesecake Jelly Jars with Shortbread Crumble ✨

Cheesecake Filling:
225 grams cream cheese at room temp
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
250 ml heavy whipping cream

1. Cream together sugar and cream cheese till absolutely smooth and lump free. Add vanilla extract and mix.
2. In a separate bowl whip heavy cream till soft peaks
3. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture taking 1/3 of the cream at a time

Strawberry Jelly:
I’m using boxed jelly crystals according to package instructions. You’ll need about 400 ml of liquid.

Assemble:
1. Tilt your container and add the jelly mixture and let it set.

2. Once the jelly is set, pipe in the cream cheese. Top it with shortbread crumble or crushed graham crackers and some chocolate

3. Chill in the fridge for about an hour before serving.
