・Mango mousse cheesecake ・

It's Summer in Thailand!!

Even though we had a weird weather last week.


19 degree centigrade!! OMG!!
This is colder than the coldest night of our winter.

(Average winter in BKK is about 20 something - nearly 30. How sad. T T Girls here never have a chance for Winter collection :( )

As you can see from the chart below. Actually we has 3 seasons; Summer, Rainy and Winter. But since there is no different between seasons, so we frequenly say that, in Thailand we got 3 season; Summer, Summer - er, and Summer - est. ;b





So.. if you love sunshine, this is your heaven.


The next thing that we think about when it's come to Summer is .. summer fruits.
Mango, Durian (I don't like it but my mom does), coconut, watermelon, tamarind, etc.
And this time I choose mango to play big role in my dessert.
Mango is one of the most famous fruit in Summer. Due to it's aroma and taste.
It is good to be eat raw and ripe.

Raw style; we dip it in sweet sauce that will balance it's sourness.



Ripe style; we eat ripe mango with sweet sticky rice topped by coconut milk and sprinkle with white sesame. Yumm :9



Even Swensen's also has this special menu on Summer. Love it.

This time I try using mango in my dessert. Because I got many ripe mangoes right now.

So this is the good way to execute them. :)

Source of the recipe here.
And since it's in Thai, this is my translated version.

I halfed this recipe and got 12 mini cheesecakes.
And you can switch mango to strawberry or other fruits you like.
