Cobletzza
The name was coined by Vikram, the recipe put together by me 
You will need:
3 ripe and juicy apples, washed, cored and cut into medium sized chunks (don’t peel)
2 ripe pears, washed, deseeded and cut into medium sized chunks
1 small ripe and sweet pineapple cut into medium chunks
Some dried berries, raisins, dates (optional)
50 gms butter
1/2 a packet of fresh cream
1 tablespoon of crushed cinnamon
1 teaspoon of crushed cardamom
1 teaspoon of Vanilla Essence (You can add a bit more if you like the taste of Vanilla)
2 heaped tablespoons whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of maple syrup (this is optional and can be skipped if the fruits you are using are sweet and ripe)
10 packets of Vanilla Cream wafers (We used Pickwick)
4-5 tablespoons of really good strawberry jam
A fistful of any good cereal
Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the fruits to it and cook for about 7 minutes or so on high flame, then add the flour and continue cooking for 2-3 more minutes until the flour has been absorbed. Then add the Cinnamon, Cardamom, vanilla essence and cook further until fruits are tender, about 10ish minutes more. Finally stir in the fresh cream and the maple syrup, and keep aside.
Grease a baking tray with butter and lightly sprinkle flour on it and then tap the flour off, so you will have a thin layer of flour on the tray. Crush all the wafers completely into a coarse powder and press the powder onto the tray.
Thinly layer this with some strawberry Jam. Evenly spread the fruit mixture on this layer of jam. Sprinkle some cereal onto the fruit layer. We used Vanilla Almond Crunch.
Bake at about 200 deg C for 10-12 minutes. Don’t burn the cereal on the top… Though i did that once and it looked awful but tasted fantastic
Serve HOT with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side
You can vary the fruits, maybe add bananas, though then the mixture becomes quite mushy…
Enjoy!
Jai Gurudeva!

I dont have internet connection at home..
i will make it at home and then give you complements….
this is not to miss a chance to give you the first comment…
and yes!
I have no option bawa !!!
and I have an idea for all of us…
dinesh da makes us to wait a lot for his post on this blog..
now we will make him wait for the comments from us…
is that fine bau???
Yummm…
Vanilla Cream Wafers:
Vegetable shortening, sugar, potato starch, natural flavoring (vanilla), stabilizer (methylcellulose), leavening agent (ammonium bicarbonate), emulsifier (soy lecithin), artificial color (beta carotene).
Sounds yummy, but this is the reason why I have no more HCl in my digestive system. A healthy alternative crust made from blitzed almonds, walnuts, carob powder, and tahini, honey is especially delicious.
Please get me a few packets of those the next time you come to India to visit
how come no picture of this desert to accompany the recipe?
SOUNDS TASTY!!!
Going to make it today.
Its absolutely yummmyyyyyy, just after reading it !!!!
I wonder how did it look ??
Bauuu……pictures please !!!!
JGD,
Viraj.
Well… the first time i made it, it came out of the oven, and got gobbled up before i could get my camera out
and the second time, i left the oven temp a bit too high so it got a bit burnt… was delicious, but had no photographic merit whatsoever … then i didnt publish this recipe for almost 10 months … but i thought it was too good to hold back simply coz i dont have a pic … so finally posted it … pic will come the next time i make it
Jai Gurudeva!

Bawa, I love your recipes. Have experimented with most of them in my kitchen when mom’s not around. I’ve also surprised her )pleasantly) on a few occasions. Her only complaint is that I make a total mess of the kitchen after it’s all done.
Most often, when I try your recipes for the first time, it turns out to be too much for us to gobble. It would be great if you could mention the serving size (for how many people) for the recipes you put in your blog so that the wastage can be minimized.
Love,
Arun
I cook for many
usually 4-6 people though
so my recipes have serving size “many”

Finally decided this recipe i will definitely attempt. I saw the list of items needed, apples, pear mind said yup done, then as the list became longer, mind said no way, will wait for a easier recipe.
It also convinced me, no photo maybe no yummy enough… aaahhh this mind…and the tricks it plays…:)
How can i access your Ted talk.. please post about what you spoke in the talk….
Did you ever find out how to access Bawa’s Ted talk?
you have no idea how yummy it appears to be while reading it…. just waiting for my first first bite of cobletzzzaa!
yumm yumm!
Will make it asap!
Bau how come no pic this time?
Making it today … photo in a few hours
>>Some dried berries, raisins, dates (optional)
At which step in the recipe do you use these? Along with the rest of the fruits?
yup
or you can reserve some and add them after its cooked
Thanks Bawa!
I tried out this recipe today. It tasted good. I used sugar syrup instead of maple syrup. And used dry fruits muesli for the cereals.
But my cobletzza didnt have any distinctive layers, after baking, the jam got mixed with the rest of the ingredients.
Just wanted to know what should be the consistency of this dish?
It should be tasty
thats it!
Coblezzta, risdi, khisotto… i wonder what next????
But this has too many styntheticky stuff, Bau… wafers, vanilla flavouring( most falvourings are deadly cocktails of chemistry books)
v unlike you!!
Didnt know that
will have to think of something else to replace it with
