Desserts de Nouvelle

Hello again! I guess you've noticed this blog no longer contains just recipes by friends, it's going to contain some recipes both family and friends

Desserts de Nouvelle is a French translation of "New Desserts". Sounds kind of commercial and cheesy, I know, that's why I tried to translate it into French. haha! But anyway, this entry signifies the new entries that will be posted in this site! This is an official revamp of the site!

Since I guess a lot have already come up with more delectable recipes of their own, I will share  some of those that you may like as an option. Because cooking (and baking) have now become part of our routines, it's time to give the attention to not just ourselves, but to others as well who have exhibited their talent in the art of the kitchen:)

You might have seen my other blog on the arts and literature, if not you can take a peek HERE :)

This site will now be an extension of those penchants that I adore so much. This will be the site where food and everything delicious is going. It will show you some recipes, and reviews of some of the most amazing food around:)

So now to give you a taste-test of some of the things coming your way, here's a family recipe for an innovated graham cake that I got from my mom:)


Mango Cream Graham Cake (Mom's recipe)


Ingredients:
2-3 packs Crushed Graham Crackers---> you can purchase them crushed or crush thee crackers manually :)
4-5 packs All Purpose Cream--> you can adjust the amount depending on the servings
2 cans Condensed milk
2-3 pieces of mangoes
Some dried fruit, or candy, or chocolate (optional)

large bowl for the milk
a flat bottomed container--> can be circular, or square; can be plastic, glass, or metal


Procedure:
1. Pour the condensed milk and the all purpose cream in the large bowl and mix thoroughly
2. Cut the mangoes into thin slices. Then cut them further into smaller pieces.
3. Mix the mangoes with the milk mixture until completely evened out. Continue mixing this so the mangoes
    don't settle at the bottom.
4. Put a layer of the crushed Graham crackers at the bottom of the flat container. The layer has to be thick as
    thick as the bottom of a cheesecake.
5. Pound the bottom to let out any air. Make sure the bottom layer is rigid.
6. Pour a layer of the mango-milk mixture in the container. The layer has to be thicker than the base graham
    layer.
7. Pour another layer of crushed Graham. This layer has to be thicker than the previous one because you
    won't be able to pound it to make it rigid.
8. Pour another layer of the mango-milk mixture.
9. Repeat step 7-8 until the ingredients are out. Or you can opt to make the layers thick for fewer layers. :)
10. The top layer has to be the crushed Graham.
11. Cover the container and put it in the freezer. Keep it there until frozen.
12. Take the frozen container out.
13. Cut the cake into square portions and take out one portion.
14. Decorate the top with a piece of chocolate or dried fruit:)
15. Enjoy!



* The last two steps can vary depending on how you want the presentation of the cake to be:) You can also opt to make into a full-sized cake.



Sounds very scrumptious:P I hope you enjoy it when you make it!:)
