A few weeks ago , I was invited to my friend Maryam's place for a ladies little " get together " .When I stepped inside her home , I was pleasantly surprised to see so many familiar faces of friends that I havent seen in a couple of months and some even over a year or two . Even more surprising was to see the table laid with quite a spread (luckily it was a big table ). It had so many mouth watering delicasies. It ranged from everything savoury , sweet and colourful fruit , juices and coffee , donuts , cakes with fresh cream and one of my very sweet tooth favourites.........SOJEE with nestle cream!!! This delicious recipe was shared with me by my friend Tasneem Girie Khan . I have tried this a couple of days ago , and believe me it is really worth making , soft and sweet........yummy,yummy!
