Last Saturday we had our dinner at Bistro Delifrance. I couldn’t cook food lately since we’re busy packing our things for our house transfer this week plus taking care of my little boy.

Anyway, here are some of the foods we ordered…

Baked Sole Fillet Rice, Puff Pastry soup (Migs favorite!) and Pasta

We still have a pizza but then forgot to take a snap, hehe….
Happy Monday everyone!

Another “no bake” recipe. Haven’t tried this yet but it’s on my list and I’m planning to do it soon…

The layers of mocha ice cream, chocolate, and creamy cheese make this dessert a winner. Make sure to prepare it at least one day ahead to allow enough time for freezing.

8-12 Servings

18-20 pcs lady fingers
1 cup milk
1/2 gallon mocha ice cream, slightly softened
3 cups semisweet choclate chips
2 tbsp butter
2 1/2 cups all-purpose cream, divided
1 cup chopped cashew nuts
1 225g pack (8oz) cream cheese
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts for sprinkling
Maraschino cherries

Procedures:
* Soak lady fingers in milk. Arrange in a 13″ x 9″ or similar size glass dish. Spoon mocha ice cream on top, spreading evenly. Freeze until ice cream is firm.
* In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips, butter and one-half cup of the all-purpose cream. Divide into two. Into one mixture, add nuts. Chill until slightly firm. Reserve other mixture for topping.
* spread the chilled chocolate-nut mixture over mocha ice cream. Return to freezer.
* In a bowl of electric mixer, beat together remaining all-purpose cream, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until almost stiff. Blend in vanilla extract. Spread over the chocolate layer. Freeze until firm.
* Just before serving, drizzle the reserved chocolate mixture over the top. Sprinkle with nuts. Decorate with maraschino cherries.
