B and i was at the Avenues and i was craving for ice cream the whole day...btw this would be the 5th ice cream of the day coz i had 4 to eat already at work (we had an ice cream photo shoot in the office :) so we had lots to eat !! )
I suggested Cold Stone ...this was our 1st time there...its a small open place..and it got me all crazy looking at all that ice cream and its toppings !! but i didnt want to experiment or create my own immediately so i focused on their signature creations..and the founder's favourite caught my eye...it has everything that i go mad for!! and B ordered peanut butter cup..i have never seen him have anything of peanut butter in ice creams so this was the 1st time...
Our Order:
  • Peanut Butter Cup (Chocolate ice cream with peanut butter and fudge ) KD 1.650
  • Founder's Favourite (sweet cream ice cream mixed with brownies , pecans , fudge sauce and caramel sauce)KD 1.650
  • 2 Waffle Bowl KD 0.400
Total Cost : KD 3.700
The Founder's Favourite was super yummylicious...my whole day's craving was satisfied...with each bite you could taste brownie's and pecans...ummmmmmm!!! B's was alright..it wasnt awesome but not bad either...but i highly recommend Founder's favourite if you love ice cream and brownies :)
The Place kind of reminded me of The Marble Slab...its fun to see them mix up ice cream...get's me all excited :)
Overall,
  • Quality, Quantity, Presentation and taste was good
  • Small Open ice cream Parlor with red black interiors as its theme
  • Friendly staff - Quick service
  • Reasonable Pricing
  • Lots to choose from - coffee , smoothies , ice creams, cakes , cookies plus you can create your own mix for the ice creams :)

Cream Cheese Pound Cake, Cupcake and soft cookies with Strawberry Coulis




I usually have a collection of recipes saved on my laptop from all my favourite food bloggers ...
my sister and i wanted something sweet and easy to make so we decided to go thru a few recipes and found this recipe from SmittenKitchen.com
Serves : 10-15 people

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted Butter
  • 1 pack of Philadelphia cream Cheese
  • 1 cup white chocolate drops
  • 3 cup sugar
  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F
  • Butter the Pan your going to be using ..in this case i made soft mini cookies, mini cupcakes and a log shape cake so you can use any mold you wish..
  • In a mixer - Mix together butter and cream cheese untill smooth ( on medium speed) then Add Sugar and increase the speed and beat this mixture until light & airy...then add the eggs one by one and make sure you mix it all well..then add the vanilla essence , white chocolate drops ,flour and salt..Mix it till its smooth...
  • Pour the batter into your mold and give it a shake to even it out
  • Bake till golden brown and make sure you do a toothpick test...bake for 1 1/4 hours
  • Once its ready place the cake on a cake rack and cool it for 20 minutes

Strawberry Coulis:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 water
  • 5 tbsp sugar ( according to taste )
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Method:

  • Combine all and blend it until smooth..once done chill it for sometime... :)
Note:
* For Strawberry Coulis if u dont like it too thick and to remove the seeds ..press the puree through a fine mesh strainer...
*Its not the same timing for all.. the cookies took less time than the cupcakes so you got to keep an eye on them...or else they'll burn :(

Pour this wonderful strawberry coulis on top of your cream cheese pound cake and sprinkle some sugar powder and its just super yummylicious :) My sister did a good job with the cake :)

I made a cute cupcake pack for B :) to snack at work...
