Verrine ~ A Blend of Cream and Chocolate

As a kid, I had a bad habit of wasting food. My mother would scare me saying if I waste food, satan is gonna come and grab my leg and take me off. The days I would waste food, I happen to meet satan (the one in Onida ad) in my dreams, who would drag me off, mercilessly.


But now, I do make a conscious effort to not waste food and to cook/eat that is enough for us. I had some mascarpone cheese and whipping cream left over after I made the Tiramisu and Black Forest Cake. While in a hunt to figure out how I could use them to make another variety dessert, before it hits the expiry date, I came across the French Dessert called Verrine. Verrines translate to glasses in french. Originally from France, these are made by forming layers of ingredients in a glass. Since these are made in transparent glass, the highlighted colors of the ingredients gives a tempting look. Moreover, we can customize a verrine with ones own recipe.

Tiramisu Charlotte Cake

Who does not like surprises? Well I know one person, and that is my husband. Knowing the fact, I kept him informed that he could expect a Tiramisu on his birthday. Who would want to annoy him on his birthday by doing what he does not like(surprise).


We both are not a fan of Italian. However, surprisingly he is very fond of Tiramisu. I remember our courtship days when we used to chat to get to know of our likes/dislikes. Every time while the conversation moved into the dessert section, his favorite would turn out to be Tiramisu. And he once actually asked me if I knew to make it. I was like - hello, you would be grateful to me if I cook you proper rice and dal :). It took me 2 years to give it a try.
