And when these goodies are Eggless and Butterless i think i Sinned but a little less...;D. Well i searched and searched for mango pulp...but did'nt manage to get it around where i lived..i was also damn lazy(yet desperate to gorge on the gorgeous stuff) to get dressed when all leave and push the stroller in 45deg hot summer of Dubai and try going even little farther than my building to get mango pulp...then...i managed to push some buttons on my phone to check with my local grocery...where he said in his hindi with a pakka south indian accent.."sory madam,Mango Pullp Nahim Hain...Parr Fresh Mango hain..aapko chahiye..??

For the Eggless Chocolate Mousse: What goes inside: 125Gms: Cooking Chocolate Bar(I used Vochelle). 100Gms: Whipping Or Double Cream. 1/2 Cup(125Gms): Butter. 1Tsp: Vanilla Essence. 1/4 Cup: Icing Sugar. 1/2Tsp: Instant Coffee Powder(Optional). How to put it in together: Chop the Cooking chocolate into small uniform pieces,add butter along with it. Melt Chocolate and butter together on high in the Microwave for 1.5-2 minutes, remove from microwave once done and set aside to cool. Tip in the instant coffee powder into the chocolate - butter mix and stir in well. In another large bowl, take the whipping/double cream along with the icing sugar and whip on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until it just forms a stiff peak(a perfect stiff peak is reached when the peak can stay up until at least a minute or two). Now the chocolate-butter-coffee mixture would have cooled up by now,if not place the bowl in another bowl of cold water, but ensure the mixture is not left to cool ...

The Worst Thing about them: I cant stop myself from eating them through the day, i don't wanna share them with one single soul..to top it..I'm drooling.. ahemm ...sorry about the gooey mess that went on the keyboard even as I'm typing this..!! Okay lets forget all about the mess and concentrate on the recipe of the cookies: Over the past year or two(i.e since i actually began baking out for just the sakes of passion of  baking) i realized that baking gives you such a high..even when i'm feeling down,low...or just feel any negativity creeping in me and i just resort to baking Believe me it just beats my stress away...and i'm all set and dolloped like chille...

Basic Eggless WWF Sponge Loaf Cake..;) A Confession : Though I've been baking for quite sometime now,i must confess a basic sponge cake was more a matter of luck in my "cake"...Oops...sorry "case"..!!  I would go on and on like mom always very rightly said "Try try never say die... " i kept trying until i continued to succeed(psst: just to ensure i'm doing it perfectly right)..!!  Finally I've succeeded & so proud to shout it out loud to the world...i managed to bake the most "Mmmm..moist Eggless WWF Sponge Cake"...). It's been such a hit at my place that I've already baked it thrice in 3days in a row (I swear i'm just not exaggerating one bite..sorry bit..;) and also tried my new experiment "Basic Eggless WWF-Oatmeal & Chocolate Loaf Cake"...Well that recipe will follow soon though..!! Baking a cake always takes me through the nostalgia of school days where we learnt the famous nursery rhyme " ...
