And it’s pretty easy to make (takes only 5 minutes!) & tweak to suit your tastebuds. A few days back, I shared my go-to Mattha / Taak recipe, which is essentially what we call Plain Chaas. Though I’ve say that there is nothing ‘plain’ about it. Even though it’s the more basic version of this Masala Chaas, it packs a punch when it comes to flavor! That being said, this Masala Chaas has a few additional ingredients & is usually my go-to when I want a boost of fresh flavor in my chaas, which the herbs provide, especially the mint....

This ice cream has been all I could think about ever since I took the first bite.

Brownie and Ice Cream My dad adored brownies. We often had them for dessert with vanilla ice cream. He was a little weird though and liked slightly burnt brownies best. He would leave any leftover brownies out overnight to dry up, and in the morning he’d dip them in coffee like biscotti. So, while it was certainly a rarer dessert than my mom’s Jell-O, the combination of brownie and ice cream was one I got to gleefully experience as a young child....

My husband especially enjoyed these. He compared them to a lot of the foods he enjoyed while living in Korea many years ago....

In fact, you must try chocolate pecan marzipan. Pecan and chocolate are a match made in heaven. If you love marzipan and have access to pecans, you absolutely must-try pecan marzipan....
