I’ve first tasted this dessert a couple of weeks ago during a family friend’s graduation picnic and I can’t seem to get enough of this simple, easy and oh! so heavenly, Mango Float! The twist in this version is that I’ve used Original Flavoured SkyFlakes Crackers, most recipes use Graham Crackers. I prefer SkyFlakes as it tends to hold its shape well and doesn’t have that “too soggy” feel to it while you’re eating it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!!!
Finally, I got the time now to sit down after 5 hours of hovering around the kitchen, it took that long for this simple Christmas dinner menu that I’ve planned for today as it included a never ending photo session while prepping and cooking. My stovetop at the moment is busted, freaky really….when you turn “on” one, the top right turns “on” too even though its knob is off. I have to endure cooking in a portable electric stove that takes ages to heat up. I’ve also triggered the smoke alarms in our house several times while roasting the chickens, Mr. Adventurous and Miss M took turns waving tea towels to get rid of the smoke….hehehehehe!
Kulinarya’s theme for the month of December 2010 is CHRISTMAS HOMEMADE FOODIE GIFTS.
Lenguas de Gato (Cat’s Tongue Cookies) are a favourite Christmas cookie treats in the Philippines. It is also a favourite “pasalubong” (foodie gift/treat) that are sold in bus terminals and roadside pasalubong stalls. Usually presented in a clear plastic jars with yellow lid and uniformly arranged. The Lenguas de Gato that I know in my childhood have a very fragile crispy texture with that rich buttery taste. This recipe comes very close to what I remember it suppose to be.
Finally!!!! Here’s my revised Leche Flan Chiffon Cake Recipe. The first version I’ve posted needed some tweaking and thanks to Betty Q, I have resolved the problem with regards to the chiffon cake layer. I have used a different Leche Flan recipe this time that doesn’t include the egg whites…I totally much prefer the pure egg yolk version. I hope you truly enjoy trying out this recipe as this is definitely a “keeper”.
