Homemade Mango Float Ice Cream

While mangoes are plentiful and cheap this time of the year, I decided to make the most popular and overly hyped dessert - MANGO FLOAT. But while preparing, a sudden idea struck me as I came up with this weird upside side down mango float that eventually become an ice cream... sort of.

Here's a simple recipe for my Homemade Mango Float Ice Cream





Ingredients
  • Mango slices, use a big spoon or glass to scoop it out as whole or as big as possible
  • Graham crackers, coarsely crushed
  • Evaporated Milk
  • Condensed Milk
  • Cream
  • Vanilla, few drops
  • "Extract" from leftover mangoes used above



How to make Mango Con Hielo
  1. Line up the mango slices at the bottom of your container leaving no space if possible. Metal pans would work well so it can solidify the mangoes better.
  2. In a bowl, create your desired cream mixture using the evaporated and condensed milk with cream, vanilla and mango extracts. 
  3. When desired sweetness and consistency is achieved, seset aside 1/3 to 1/4 of the mix.
  4. Add crushed Grahams to the remaining 2/3 or 3/4 of the mix and blend.
  5. Place the blend on top of the mangoes.
  6. Finally, place the pure mix (no Grahams) on top for a clean finish.
  7. Freeze and serve when it has already set.

Note that there are no measurements for this dessert recipe since it will dependent on your container and availability of the ingredients.

This recipe is just a guide as you can follow your own favorite mango float recipe ingredients then just "arrange" it upside down.

I like the way how the mangoes froze at the bottom layer giving it a sort of ice cream like consistency that goes well with the crema and Graham toppings. You can also just mix the all cream and Grahams then place on top of the mangoes - no need for a pure cream 3rd layer. The secret is how sweet your mangoes are and at this time, they are are their sweetest! Enjoy...

Simple Pochero Ilonggo

POCHERO. The most familiar recipes are the ones stewed with tomatoes (or tomato sauce) or the Cebu variant which is like bulalo or nilaga, but the pochero I grew up with is just very simple. It's just pork cooked with potatoes and/or saba (cooking banana) with kamote tops or pechay. I just love the mild sweetness of the broth brought about by the bananas to the savory broth. Or sometimes, it tends lean more of the tomato based recipe, just without the tomato itself or sauce. The recipe is just very simple - just boil the pork first until tender. Add the "hard" veggies like potatoes, saba, carrots, etc then finally when the leafy veggies when its almost done. Just season it with salt or broth cubes for a savory broth.

Simple Bukayo

Bukayo is a native Filipino delicacy which is made mainly with coconut strips and sugar. There are two popular variants - moist and dry (also called bocarillo).  The former is typically made into toppings and fillings for suman latik and inday-inday, among others, though I just love eating it right from the container.  The latter is more candy type reminiscent of bandi, which takes a shape of its own and is more convenient to be eaten on the go. Both share almost the same recipe with some more or less tweaks to make the other. Here's a Recipe to make the Dry-type Bukayo. Ingredients 3 cups Young coconut meat, shredded 2 cups Muscovado Sugar, adjust 1/2 cup Coconut juice or plain water Vanilla extract Calamansi rind (optional) How to make Bukayo In a wok, place coconut juice or water and sugar then mix thoroughly.
