I love dessert. It is really as simple as that. I read the dessert menu before I order main course, so that if there is something worthwhile then I can save some space. If it is vague and uninspiring like 'choice of ice cream- vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, with chocolate sauce' or a random cake, then I don't bother. Might as well save the calories for a better day. Chocolate ( dark chocolate with a bit of orange rind preferably) is my best beloved, but fruity flavours and healthier options have slowly grown on me over the past few years. I have started to look beyond chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce with chocolate chips. The world is indeed changing.
I'm not a big fan of ice cream ( except very specific ones) but I do like frozen yoghurt and gelato. In continuation of my previous post, here is a ridiculously easy ( and yummy) recipe for Mango yoghurt. It tastes like fresh fruit ice cream, is much healthier and is easy enough to be made by a five year old.
Just Mango ( mango pudding/ frozen yoghurt)
Ingredients:
2 large mangoes ( I use Safeda/ Baiganpalli- the large ones commonly used for mango shake, but any variety will work as long as it's not stringy)
300 gms of unsweetened yoghurt ( I like Nestle rich and creamy- the one that comes in a dark blue box)
2-3 spoons of sugar ( Sugar Free Natura seems like a good substitute since it doesn't use asparteme)
A hand blender
Method
Peel the magoes, remove the seed and chop into small pieces
Empty out the yoghurt in a bowl
Mix it with a fork or a hand blender to get a smooth consistency, add the sugar and 3/4th of the mangoes while you blend it. DO NOT use a mixer-grinder- the water comes out and it becomes a cross between buttermilk and lassi if you do.
Keep the smooth mix in the freezer ( choose how cold you want it)
Serve it in pretty glass bowls garnished with fresh chopped mango
Enjoy!
PS- My mother makes a similar pudding using fresh cream, which tastes super. So if you want a more sinful version, substitute the yoghurt with cream.
Try it out with some other fruit as well- like mulberries and strawberries.
Mango Crumble and Apple Cinnamon Cake coming up next!
