Ultimate Layered Tropical Dessert
Introduction: Ultimate Layered Tropical Dessert
Hello All,
This is instructable is both feast to eyes as well your tummy when you make it. In our country its the end of the summer, so last month there was abundant growth of mangoes. So made lot of recipe using still not tired of its taste. So i curated this recipe for all the mango lovers out there. I haven't seen this layered recipe in google, I got inspiration from falooda recipe to create multiple layers.
One fine evening with your loved ones or on a diet cheating day you can make these to indulge in its taste or you can make your guests get awestruck by these multiple flavours in one bite
Step 1: Ingredients
So ingredients are listed layerwise from bottom to top
For crushed biscuit
1) Biscuits - 6-7 pieces
2) Melted butter - 3 tbsp
Base whipping cream
1) Whipped powder - 1/4 cup
2) Chilled milk - 1/2 Cup
For mango whipping cream add mango puree - 1/4 cup
For vanilla whipping cream add vanilla syrup - 2 tsp
Toasted or caramelized pineapple
Peeled and sliced pineapple - 4-5 pieces
Sugar - 2 tbsp.
Mango Sorbet
Reason for listing this before mango pudding is as both need times to set in refrigerator, so they are to be done simultaneously as mango juice extraction and remaining puree will be used in pudding process.
Mango diced - 2 cup
Pineapple diced - 1 cup
water - 3/4 cup
sugar - 1/4 cup
Mango pudding
Veg gelatin - 1 tsp
Mango juice - 2 tbsp
Mango puree - 1/4 cup
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Water - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 2 tbsp
For chocolate i have used readymade semi-sweet chocolate syrup
Step 2: Layers
From top to bottom
Pineapple and mango sorbet - Natural sweet, icy with rich mango and pineapple flavour and smell
Semi sweet chocolate syrup - Mild sweet , non-solidifying sticky chocolate syrup
Mango pudding - Jelly like, soft, mango flavoured
Whipped cream - Man made cloud of filled with flavours of our choice, here mango and vanilla
Toasted pineapple- Naturally sweet and tart, by toasting with sugar the outer layer gets caramelized
Crushed biscuit - Finishing with crispiness
Step 3: Smash Time
I particularly choose biscuit as it should as last layer shall be crunchy and crispy. Put the biscuits in a ziplock bag and start rolling the roller. Smash well with few coarse pieces
Step 4: First Layer
After taking your anger out on biscuits add them to melted butter and mix well. When press them, they kinda should hold shape, add it to bowl or dessert glass by pressing to hold firmly at the bottom
Step 5: Base Whipped Cream
Generally whipped cream will be prepared by whipping heavy cream. But here i have used whipping powder with added sugar, so i didn't add extra sugar. 2
So its instructions are to whip it by adding milk/water two times the quantity of powder.
As a trick to whip faster, put the container, milk and whipping blades in refrigerator for few minutes to whip the cream.
I stopped for soft peaks itself, it didn't beat more.. Soft peaks will be more like soft serves as in ice creams
Step 6: Mango Puree
De skin, cut and blend the mango to obtain mango puree. I didn't add any water, as i wanted the thick consistency. you can add little you want but adding more will make the cream runny.
Step 7: Divide and Conquer
So i have divided two equal amounts
first half - Added 1/4 cup of mango puree
Second half - Added vanilla syrup
But as bottom second layer mango whipped cream goes in about half inch
Step 8: Peel and Slice
Peel the pineapple outer skin and cut pieces of about half inch thickness, coat it sugar. Add little butter (optional) on hot pan and toast the sugar coated pineapple slices
Step 9: Flip It
Keep it low flame as sugar will burn out very fast. Be near it, as this won't take much time and its just seconds away from tasty to yucky. As over burning of sugar result in very bitter taste and not healthy either.
Flip it as soon as you see golden colour. Try to cut slices evenly so that it gets proper caramelisation. In my case it didn't happen exactly :P hence one side golden brown and another side is brown in image. What can i say, im not an expert in cutting
Step 10: Top
When the heat cools down caramelised pineapple is added and it vaniila whipping is added . 567
