Phool Surprise

Phool Surprise is a signature dessert from chef Kunal Kapur which was showcased on MasterChef TV program. I was awestruck when I saw this program as the Phool surprise was really so beautiful and awesome. I was so impressed that I wanted to try it out, though I knew it would a tough task. After couple of attempts I was able to prepare it although its not as perfect as the actual recipe. I have also uploaded the video of the petals opening from my recipe. This recipe has four components, first one berry cheesecake, second one crispy ghevar, third one white chocolate petals and finally french vanilla & turmeric flavored custard. I have shared the Ghevar recipe separately and remaining three recipes are part of this recipe. This dessert is as delicious as beautiful. Berry cheesecake gives a sweet and sour tingling taste to otherwise sweet chocolate and custard. It could look like a daunting task however if you have patience you can certainly make this recipe and surprise your friends and family with it. Some important aspects of the recipe are mentioned in the recipe notes so please read them before you start preparing this recipe.

Shrikhand is a very popular dessert in Maharashtra and Gujarat.  It is made from strained yogurt and sugar.  It is most often flavored with dry fruits, cardamom, and saffron. Other common flavors include fresh fruits and mango pulp, but one can be creative in flavoring Srikhand. This recipe is a simple recipe which flavors Srikhand with two different flavors one fig-maple and second orange- ginger. Each of these gives a unique taste to it. When served in mini orange tarts it makes it more appetizing.
