Dinner with Mpho




I caught up with a friend I hadn't spoken to in a while today. We had a long chat about work,  love and everything else in between. While we were chatting I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Good friends are hard to come by and I know I don't appreciate them nearly enough as I should. [note to self]
I also came to the realisation that the plethora of social media we're exposed to gives us a false sense of friendship and makes us believe that we're connecting with people when we really aren't. Sad but true...

Anyway, I cooked a hearty meal and even baked for my dear friend. We both enjoyed it thoroughly :-)Dessert, as always, was my highlight and was really easy to prepare


Ingredients
  • chocolate cake [see recipe from Chocolate sandwich 7 Feb 2012]
  • 1 cup of raspberries
  • 1 cup creamed cottage cheese
  • 1 cup of cream
  • 1 cup icing sugar

Method
  • In a martini glass, place a layer of chocolate cake
  • Mix the cottage cheese, cream and icing sugar in a bowl - pour a small portion[approximately 3 tablespoons] over the first layer of chocolate cake
  • Place a few raspberries on top of the cream mix
  • Add another layer of cake, cream mix and top with raspberries
There'll be plenty left over for seconds, thirds...[certainly not for weight watchers] :-)
