Rich Cake is another variety of fruit cake (or, as I would call it, Christmas fruit cake :)) that is commonly served at weddings and at Christmas in Sri Lanka. Since I’d recently made a coconut fruit cake, Fahim had been begging me to make a Rich Cake. So I did. 😀 Here it is …

Cream Puffs
A month and a half back, Fahim and I were returning home when we saw this truck. … Cuz I really don’t think we’re in an alternate universe right now, you know? As it turns out, we got our answer when the car we were in passed the truck.
Kiri Aluwa – Sri Lankan Milk Toffee
Except that Fahim tells me that no one calls it kiri aluwa, apparently. Ah well. 🙂 This is a sweet that I encountered very soon after I came here. And as usual with most sweets, I adore it. 🙂 In the past, we’ve bought it from the grocery store. Milk toffee usually comes in a …
Coconut kiss – Beijinho de Coco
From the same lady at Craftster who brought Brigadeiros / Embarkadeiros into our life, we have Coconut Kisses, or Beijinho De Coco. Coconut Kisses / Beihinho De Coco Ingredients: 397 ml (14 oz) 525 grams sweetened condensed milk 14 grams (1 T) 19 grams (1 1/2 T) butter 100 grams (3.5 oz) 132 grams (4.6 …
Embarkadeiros! No! Brigadeiros!
That’s what Fahim, the silly boy, calls ’em. They’re really called brigadeiros. They’re a Brazilian treat I learned about on Craftster. The directions in that thread say to microwave the ingredients in a deep container for 6 minutes on high. That didn’t work for me or a few others, unfortunately. When I took the concoction …
Nanaimo Bars
Nanaimo Bars. Because Fahim is who he is, he’s calling them NaNoWriMo Bars. But we’ll just ignore him, shall we? 🙂 Nanaimo Bars. Ah, that brings back memories. 🙂 Nanaimo Bars have been a part of my life for a good long time. Since I belong to a family of adamant chocaholics, Nanaimo Bars have …
Chocolate Larabars
This is another larabar recipe from Chocolate and Zucchini, this time from her blog post and not from the comments section. I hadn’t heard of larabars until I read about them on Chocolate and Zucchini, but they sounded good, so I gave them a try. Homemade Chocolate Lärabars Ingredients 300 grams (10 1/2 ounces) dates …
Lemon Coconut Larabars
Fahim’s already started calling these Laramie Bars, and once he starts something, he’s not inclined to let it go. He changes the names for everything, so I really should be used to this by now… :p Larabars. I came across a post over on Chocolate and Zucchini about them a couple of weeks ago and …
Wattalapam
Fahim and I went grocery shopping, and among the things we bought was Wattalapam, which, if I talk with my normal North American style of speech, I butcher. If I slow down, I pronounce it properly. Basically, it’s a custard. It’s only got five ingredients, or ingerdients, as the manufacturer spells it. It has jaggery, …
