Ripe mango by itself is paradise. When combined with varying textures and tastes - it is divine. I first had it at a potluck when a friend brought this. Since then, I have made it many times during the mango season and its been a big hit every time. The combination of mangoes and yoghurt also makes this a healthy dessert.
Method:
Ingredients:
(Serves about 8 generous portions)
Mangoes : 4 medium sized ripe mangoes
Yoghurt : about 500ml thick yoghurt
Cream : 150ml
Sugar : 8tbs or as required
Jelly/Mango Dessert/Jello : 1 small packet
Digestive biscuits - 12 to 14 biscuits
White butter : 2 tbs
1. Make the Jelly as per instructions on the packet. Let it cool to room temperature
2. Chop 3 mangoes into small pieces. Alternately you can slice it and layer it in the bottom of your container.
Optional:
a. Step 8 you can omit the pureed mango to reduce the overwhelming mango taste
b. Top this with other fruits / mangoes if required
c. If you are making for home, you can avoid the cream and just use thick yoghurt or hung yoghurt. The cream makes the top layer thick and gives it a cake like consistency so that it can be cut into pieces.
3. Pour the Jelly over the mango pieces and leave it to set in the refrigerator.
4. Now take about 12-14 pieces of digestive biscuits and coarsely powder it.
5. Heat 2 tbs of butter and then add the biscuit powder. Sauté for a minute.
6. Now layer the biscuit mixture on top of the jelly. Return dish to the refrigerator.
7. Beat the cream till it is thick. ( place the container with cream in a vessel with ice cubes and water to prevent curdling. This is needed in hot climates like Singapore).
8. Add the yoghurt and stir. Add the powdered sugar as well. I split the yoghurt into two parts. Added puréed mango to one part. Then used both to create a ripple effect.
9. Later this mixture on top of the biscuit layer.
10. Decorate with mango slices if required.
