I still believe that mangoes are seasonal. This is the time when mangoes are at their sweetest. I grab the chance to buy in bulk when it is cheap. Last week, I was able to get 20 kgs of the Guimaras variety. It was still unripe when we brought the them home. But, I took care of them and waited until it is time to enjoy them. The time has come.
In the past weeks of the lockdown, I've made mango ice candy and mango jelly. This week I am experimenting on a new cake flavor: Mango Creme Brulee cake. It is my take on the famed creme brulee cake but with juicy mangoes. It is assembled now and cooling in the chiller. Here is a section of the cake. It needs more mangoes, more custard and a more stable whipped filling.
Yes, I also need to do the brulee part better. I can't wait to have my own blow torch.
I've also made a refreshing mango-chia seed pudding. We prefer it as dessert. It is one way for my husband to take in chia seeds. The kids have been asking me to make crepes. So I guess I will also make mangoes and cream crepes some time this week.
What else can I do with mangoes aside from the usual?
