Mangoes definitely top off my list when my friends and I go out to a party or just a very simple lunch out. Every one of them loves how I prepare my mangoes. Be it preserved, fresh or baked, it sure is a hit. In our past picnics, they’ve been requesting for my mango cheesecake. The cream cheese compliments the mangoes really well due to the fact that the sour taste blends well and balances the sweetness of the ripe mangoes I use. There aren’t lots of mango trees around so they cost a bit higher than the fruits that are usually available all year long. This fruit is also more available during the summer when the temperature’s kind of hot.
My friend is a wedding coordinator so I get to suggest the best mango recipes that can be served on the wedding reception. Since the first time that a couple from across the block tried to have mangoes as part of their entree, word has spread out and the next thing I knew, I have been getting loads of orders for wedding receptions for mango pies, mango cakes, mango jelly and mango tarts.
Among the bestsellers that I’ve been making for wedding receptions, I fancy mango pies the most especially if it has peaches to go with it. I presume it’s a lot better than apple pie. The smaller version of it is the mango tart which you could serve to guests individually. It is basically better off since your guests would not have to slice off pies themselves which is a little inconvenient for them. Another delightful recipe that I was able to perfect is the mango mousse. It’s a very simple recipe since it is whipped up similar to the way you make a chocolate mousse. It replaces cakes easily because they both have exactly the same texture and you can easily build it looking like a cake.
The only difference is that as opposed to a dark, chocolatey mousse, you get a light yellow mousse that you could load with mangoes on top. If you wish it to be a bit more colorful, you may add slices of strawberries and kiwi on top of it and you have your own type of the mango mousse. It is virtually limitless as you design your own mousse because you can add whatever you want to make your mango mousse look and taste more exceptional and magnificent. One thing that I’m interested of making is a mango pudding. I have not seen anyone make one of those. Not even in pastry shops. Perhaps people aren’t ready yet to risk making a mango pudding.
Why not? A mango pudding sounds great. Everybody was also skeptical over mango pies replacing apple pies before and they were afraid to experiment on making some of it. We do not have to limit our taste to the standard and traditional recipes that we have been used to. I’ve even tried eating green mangoes with cooked shrimp paste and it seemed to be just as heavenly as any other appetizers I’ve tasted.
You can never go wrong with a simple mango recipe simply because mangoes normally flavorful and you don’t have to produce a new taste just to make it delicious. You just need to think of more ways to prepare it. If you ever feel that you are a little too scared to play around with mango recipes, I strongly suggest you start off with making a mango shake to warm up, then try whipping some cream, add mangoes and you’ve got an instant mango mousse. It’s really a healthy and delicious fruit intended to undoubtedly leave your friends asking for more.
