Mango Delight Ice Cream

Mom got a big basket of fresh Mangoes from the farmers market last saturday for just $3. I think they were around 11 or 12 in one basket. And these looked more like Rasalu type of Mangoes that we get in India and they were real sweet, not like the ones that we get in our Indian Stores.

This quickly reminded me of Mango Delight Ice Cream, the recipe that I noted down from a TV show recently. We made these creamy and heavenly ice creams in less than 10 mins and I just finished eating my second one.

This goes to the event Monthly Mingle 23-Mango Mania

Here is the Printer-Friendly Recipe: Mango Delight Ice Cream

Ingredients

2 fresh ripe Mangoes
50 g Cream

100 g Condensed Milk

half cup gelatin

1 cup milk

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp cardammom powder

food color, optional

Method

1. Puree mangoes in a blender.
2. Add fresh cream, sugar, condensed milk, elaichi powder and mix.
3. Add some milk, gelatin, food color (this is because the mango color gets reduced with the addition of all the dairy items, I avoided it and still they looked good)
4. Whisk again in the blender and put it moulds or cups and freeze for 10 mins.

Mango Cake-Eggless

My brother told me not to post this on the site by looking at the color and look of this cake, but don't go by the looks, this infact was much tastier than it looks. I tried for eggless cakes and I found this Mango version. The original recipe asked for real Mangoes but I didn't have any, so I used Mango Pulp instead.

1 cup diced fresh mango/mango pulp
1/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup skim milk powder
1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 cup crushed pista
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Sift together the wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.Add crushed Pista.
3. Put mango, water, sugar, milk powder, yogurt, and oil in a blender. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour the mango puree into flour mixture and mix well.
5. Put the whole mixture in a baking pan and bake until done (about 20-30 mins).

Pour some mango pulp and add some dry fruits on the top for decoration.

Note: I felt that the cake was lesssweeter, so you can increase the quantity of sugar or put some extra mango pulp in the plate and eat.

Mango Lassi

I took my brother to an Indian restaurant lately and he took Mango Lassi as his drink. He liked that so much that he kept asking me to make one at home. On his request, I made this with readymade mango pulp. I got this can from the store and I don’t remember the name of it, I already threw the can. I wish I had fresh mangoes in the kitchen; it would have made a big difference in the taste.

I envy those who are in India and who get to eat Raasalu in the summer. I love that variety of Mango so much. I just could not wait to get them home in those days. My mom used to buy them and soak them in water until evening and we used to eat them soon after the dinner. Ah! Who can forget those summer days with those mangoes around?
