Want to make an awesome dessert? No oven? No problem!
That's what we learnt at Marriott Chennai, at Chef Jacob's Cook and Dine series for the month of July. Once again, Rhapsody was the venue and this time, the promise of making a dessert sans egg, sans oven was pretty attractive.

The class had already started by the time I reached but one thing about Chef Justin's style of demonstration is that you can ask him for a recap and clarifications anytime and his recipes are easy to follow.

This time, Chef had just 2 recipes in his menu but both were killers. The first, Chocolate Peanut bars has a sweet biscuit layer and over it, a peanut butter-chocolate filling. If you like Reese's Pieces, then you'll freak out on this. Simply sublime! It was made in a round cake ring and sliced into wedges.

The second recipe was for a Nutella Cheesecake. It needs neither egg nor a setting agent which makes it a perfect cheesecake for vegetarians. The biscuit crumbs used to line the base are made in-house which gives them a coarse texture that is excellent for a cheesecake base.

As a perfect ending to the masterclass, the chef showed us a few white chocolate decorations that would give a professional finish to cakes. Here's a sample:
