josh Kitchen: Mango Crepe

Filipinos are fond of sweets. That's why we always love desserts. While there are varieties of tropical fruits available, i always like putting Mango on top of my list.

Here is my own version of Mango Crepe. Crepe is actually a pan cake in a thinner version. For this entry, i used fresh mango fruits and whip cream as fillings. 

Ingredients: 

- 2 pcs fresh Mango Fruits

- 2 cups of cake flour

- 1 table spoon mango flavoring syrup

- 20 grams butter

- 2 pcs of eggs

- 2 cups of refined (white) sugar

For my home made whip cream:

- 250 ml all purpoae cream

- 1 cup of refined sugar

- 1 teaspoon of mango syrup

You don't want your crepe to be oily so do not pour oil on your pan. Instead, soak a small piece of tissue in a bowl of oil and apply it on the pan. Ensure that your pan is hot enought before you pour your mixture. Occassionally lift your pan when it gets too hot to avoid burning your crepe.

Here's the finish product!

Cheers,

Joshua

josh Kitchen: Mango Pana Cotta

I have always been a fan of lovely looking desserts. It just gives me a sense of foodgasm in my appetite. 

Since i love mangoes, i tried putting this flavor into my own version of Pana Cotta. This dessert is very easy to make. You'll need fresh mango fruits, sliced and puree and some sweeteners. See the list of ingredients below: 

Ingredients:

3 pcs of riped mangos 

1 table spoon of mango flavor

2 cups of fresh milk

3 table spoons of gelatin (unflavored)

1 cup of white/refined sugar

Procedure:

1. Peel off the riped mango. Create a puree out of 1 mango (you may use blender on this), while slice in small long pieces the other 2 mangos.

2. On a low heated pan, pour the fresh milk and sugar. 

3. While waiting for the sugar to dissolve, using a bowl, create a gelatin mixture (use a luke warm water).

4. Once the sugar already dissolves in the milk, pour your gelatin mixture in the pan.

5. Stir occassionally. Once you get a sticky texture, pour it in a bowl or molder.

6. Add the sliced mangos on top of the molded pana cotta. 

7. Refrigarate before serving.

Finished Products:

Cheers,

josh Kitchen: Mango de Crema in a Jar

My inspiration of this creation is the cake in a jar of Country Basket pastries. I was able to taste their product but was not that happy of its taste. Not that it was bad, i just didn't get the flavors i was expecting. So, here i come, trying to showcase my own creation in a jar. 

Whenever i cook food or make desserts, i always want to give a twist of them to bring something new out of the tradition. This Mango de Crema has different texture in each layer, from flakes to crushed Grahams plus nuts.

Ingredients: 

3 pcs fresh mango fruits

1 pack of Graham crushed

1 pack of Graham Flakes

1 can condensed milk

1 can All Purpose Cream

1 pack raisins

1 small pack of Peanut Brittle 

Cheers,

Josh
