It’s a well-known fact that the taste of a dessert can easily change your mood in a minute. We often underestimate the power of little sweet things in life because we pretend that we have more important issues and we think we deserve bigger or more valuable things to satisfy ourselves. We should know that even one bite of a little sweet thing will lead you to happiness. Yep, there is a light in the end of the tunnel. Soon you’ll see it.
It was sunny when I left home but rainy when I got to the other side of the city. I met my dearest friend Sesil at “Cookshop” in Nisantasi. It was pretty gloomy and grey outside so we decided to cheer ourselves up. I couldn’t help looking at the dessert menu. It was right under my nose, “Magnolia”. It’s named after the famous Magnolia Bakery in New York and one of their delicious products. You can see the photo of it which I took last summer.
The “Cookshop” has developed it in time with different types of fruit. I usually stick to the original one with banana. They never give you the recipe but I can define the taste as something mixed up with banana mousse, banana purée, white cream, some vanilla, a little honey, crumbled biscuits (Cici Bebe Biscuits). It is like the pudding but more delicious than that and they serve it on a nice flat plate and with a special spoon. They sometimes serve with some cocoa on it. You can try the one with strawberry and chocolate, too. I hope you’ll like it as much as I do.
