It’s Day 26 of the Royal Selangor Jellyriffic Challenge. The end is in sight! Almost a month’s worth of cone-shaped creations…I think I’m going cone-nuts! But it’s for a good cause: to raise awareness about breast cancer, but in a fun and tasty way by using the Royal Selangor Jelly Moulds as a talking point.

Try this cool, cardamom and pistachio flavored dessert for Deepavali / Diwali festival dinners.

We recently went out for dinner with some family friends of ours who took us to a popular Indian restaurant in town. The food was quite good, and we stuffed ourselves on naan, various biryani and curries. Even though we were full, our hosts suggested we have some kulfi (Indian ice cream) for dessert. I had never had kulfi before, so I agreed to try it. And I’m glad I did.

The texture was different from Western style ice creams – more substantial and not so airy. Another interesting thing about this kulfi is, it is served as an upright cylinder instead of a round scoop. This is because of the mold that they use to freeze the milk in.

Noticing the resemblance to our Royal Selangor Jelly Mould, Annie suggested that we make some kulfi as one of our entries in the Royal Selangor Jellyriffic Challenge. She found the recipe online, and I was tasked with the production. It almost didn’t get made.

Taking the apple pie to heights never before seen!

Man, this truly almost became a pie-in-the-sky project! I’ve been thinking of apples and how to use them in the Royal Selangor Jellyriffic Challenge and as Nate hinted at in yesterday’s Mulled Apple Cider Konnyaku post, this was supposed to be part of that post.

Why wasn’t it part of the post? Well, obviously there were some hiccups so we had to problem-solve the issues and thankfully, it all worked out and here it is now today. Better late than never!

Most people think of enjoying a hot cup of mulled apple cider on a cold Fall or Winter evening, but here’s a surprise: it’s good as a jelly too!
