But after the fast, the recipes for Christmas dishes are more diverse, there is meat, fish, and dairy products.

I suggest you, on occasion, prepare such a funny decoration for dessert! On these Christmas trees you CAN HIDE LITTLE spells for good luck or quotes!!!
Delicious marshmallows. Strawberry bliss… And the structure is like a store. As a friend said, I was treated to marshmallows, if not for the look in which we see that it was not done professionally, she would never have believed that I did it myself, and did not buy it… But accuracy is important.
The first time I baked this cake was a year ago for my aunt’s birthday… Everyone liked it, and decided to bake this year for his birthday. At the same time, I will share the recipe with you. I didn’t bother with the design (for which I ask you not to judge strictly!). I had ready-made frozen flowers from a banana, and it was decided to attach them… that’s how it turns out all this is not a tricky decor. The cake turns out to be quite soft, the cream at first glance is very sweet, but the sourness of kiwi perfectly complements the taste and makes the cake not cloying. Come on, seagulls)!
Today there will be no national pies and Brazilian national desserts with names that are impossible to remember. Today it’s simple. A cake with a chocolate dough base with a marshmallow cap, covered with chocolate icing. The case when the use of home confectionery finished confectionery products reduces the total cooking time and optimizes the result.
Marshmallows are a favorite treat of children and adults! The most delicious and fragrant is, of course, cooked with your own hands! This is very different from the brother store! He’s incredible!!! Try it!)
Today I want to treat you all to an unusually delicious, and most importantly, quick to prepare, ice cream. What I liked about this recipe is that it doesn’t need to be constantly stirred. Put it in the freezer and after 5-7 hours enjoy a soft, tender, stunningly delicious ice cream. And yet – it does not crystallize. Interesting? Come to me!
It’s amazing! Very fast! Cooking is easy and pleasant (without dough and baking). In general, some advantages! You will need a minimum of food and time, but in return you will get maximum pleasure!
This is my first experience with marshmallows in particular and agar-agar in general. I really liked the result! Eating agar is not scary! I made marshmallows for my mom’s anniversary. The guests were delighted! Husband and daughter are waiting for marshmallows, prepared exclusively for them, which they will not share with anyone else!
