I dont need any special occasion to make a dessert!! Do u?? This Badam Kheer is one such rich and creamy dessert that appeared in my kitchen for no reason  Though I have tasted it many times, never tried at home during recent times. It can be made with less effort too. The only job in this is to soak and peel the almonds. If u can get blanched almonds like me, this is a super-easy and quick treat for sudden cravings!!

Mango Milkshake is one of the most popular milkshakes. We do not get good varieties of mangoes here. This time happened to get a very sweet and yummy batch of Kesar Mangoes from the Indian shop. The mangoes were really very juice and soft to handle. We enjoyed a couple of mangoes as is, some went into the Mango Icecream and the rest in this Mango Milkshake. This is a simple, thick and creamy milkshake recipe, perfect for the summer and season!!
