Mango Melba Recipe

Author RosselPosted on 14 Comments
The whole family has sweet tooth. A fruit, candy or a little bite of chocolate is a must after each meal. If these three are not available, then I am obliged to make dessert and below, Mango Melba, is our family’s favorite. It’s very easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

2 tetra packs (250 ml each) all purpose cream
1 can (300 ml) condensed milk
30 pcs Graham crackers
2 pcs ripe mango (sliced thinly)
Procedure:
Combine all purpose cream and condensed milk. Mix well. Cover bottom of a 9 1/2″ x 6″ pan or any container with cream. Lay the pieces of Graham crackers over cream until it is all covered. Pour about 1/2 cup of cream mixture over the graham then spread. Arrange the pieces of thinly sliced mango over the cream. Lay graham again, then cream, then sliced mango. Top it with graham then cream. Chill for 1 hour. You can top it with sliced mango before serving.

Halo-Halo

Author RosselPosted on 6 Comments

It’s raining since the other day. I guess the rainy season has started officially. There are many things that I will miss now that the summer is over especially the halo-halo. Of course I can still eat halo-halo because I bought an ice shaver last summer and I can make some anytime I want  but it’s different when eating it during summer while the heat is scorching.

Halo-halo is a popular Filipino dessert which is a mixture of different sweetened fruits and beans. No specific ingredients are used in halo-halo. You can add as many ingredients as you desire then add the shaved ice and evaporated milk. For special treats, you can add leche flan, ube, macapuno or ice cream on top.
The best halo-halo for me is Icebergs halo-halo. I can’t get enough of it. It is literally filled with 12 tasty ingredients with 2 scoops of ice cream on top, but I think it’s their macapuno balls that made their halo-halo so flavorful. It is served with separate evaporated milk and sugar so you can adjust its taste to your desired creaminess and sweetness. You may think that P118 is too expensive for a glass of halo-halo. But Icebergs halo-halo is served in a large bowl instead of the usual tall glass. Once you tasted it, you’ll say that P118 is cheap for its delicious taste.
