Mango Bread Pastry - No Bake Dessert#AlphabetChallenge

Made this with Alphonso mangoes so often because it is easy, delicious and yummy. My friends too made this pastry, when I, explained to them how to make it and it is a instant hit in their home too.  Make this for your guest and they will shower praises after enjoying this pastry. 

Ingredients 
4 Slices Bread - white or brown any will do
As Required Slices Mango - cut in the size of the bread slice
 ¾ Cup Vanilla Ice Cream 
For The Mango Glaze
2 Tablespoon Sugar
½ Cup Mango Puree
1 Teaspoon Gelatin or Agar Agar powder
2 Tablespoons Water
Method
For The Mango Glaze 

Soak the gelatin in water for 5 minutes.  
Take a another pan, mix together  mango puree and sugar, mix well add soaked gelatin.  Now switch on the flame and cook the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously, so that it doesn't stick to the bottom. Cook until it becomes translucent and thick  ( do not bring it to a boil). It's is ready. Take off flame, take it out on a bowl, keep aside to cool. 
For Assembling
Take the bread slices. Take out the ice cream and let it become a little soft so that it's easy to spread.  

First take one slice and spread a tablespoon ice cream nicely all over.  

Then place the slices of mango.  

Spread a little mango glaze on top.  

Then  spread little ice cream on it.  Take second slice of bread and place it on top then again continue the same process. First spread ice cream and in this way repeat the process until the fourth slice of bread finally is placed on top. 

Then apply layer of of ice cream and pour mango glaze on the top. Its summer and so hot as you can see as I am assembling it the ice cream is melting.

Now place this pastry in an airtight container, keep it in the freezer for half an hour or more to set.

When ready to serve take it out, trim the sides and cut from the center  - into two parts. So two pastries are ready , garnish with glazed cherries or mango pieces and serve chilled. 

Enjoy.. yum...

Czech Lívance -Eggless Yeasted Pancakes#EatTheWorld

In Czech, these yeasted pancakes are called Lívance, and they represent a favorite sweet dessert. They are addictive! 
Traditional Czech pancakes are round small sized patties made of semi-liquid batter, leavened with yeast. The pancakes are fried in a pan with little butter, finally garnished with fruit, a scoop of sour cream, or just rolled in powdered sugar. They are served as a dessert/sweet dish. 

I have made this eggless and they are so soft fluffy, spongy and delicious. These are too good, my hubby enjoyed the pancakes with Mango Cream Dip. 

Makes : 16 Mini Pancakes
Ingredients
1½+ - Cup Lukewarm Milk
1 Teaspoon Instant Yeast
1½ Cups All Purpose Flour
2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
2 Eggs - optional - I did not add - See Notes
¼ Teaspoon Salt
Butter or Desi Ghee/ Oil) - for frying

For The Mango Cream Dip
1 Mango - Alphonso or Kesar
2 Cubes Cream Cheese
½ Cup Non Diary Whipping Cream
Method
For The Mango Cream Dip

Remove the skin and chop the mango. In a small blender jar add the cream cheese, mango and whipping cream. Blend till smooth. Remove in a bowl.

Refrigerate to chill till we are ready to serve with the pancakes.

For The Pancakes

In a small saucepan, heat a cup of milk until it is  just lukewarm. Add sugar and yeast, then stir. Leave the mixture in a warm place until the yeast activates and foam with bubbles appears on the surface.

Pour the remaining lukewarm milk into a large bowl and add granulated sugar, flour and salt. Now add the activated yeast mixture. Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, briefly whisk until everything is well combined. The result should be a thin, semi-liquid batter. Place the bowl with the batter in a warm area to rise until it doubles in volume. 

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium low flame and brush the pan with  butter or desi ghee. Take ¼ cup of the risen batter and pour it into the pan.  Cook the Lívance for about a minute on one side and then 30 seconds on the other. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate.
Carefully wipe the pan with a paper towel after each batch to remove any blackened bits of butter/desi ghee.

Coat the pancakes in cinnamon sugar. Prepare coating mixture by combining icing sugar and cinnamon powder in a large bowl. Thoroughly coat the warm pancakes with the cinnamon sugar.

I served them with Mango Cream Dip and this was  perfect combo with the Livance. Do try these!! 
My Notes 
If you are using eggs then use ½ cup less milk.

Eggless Mango Semolina Cake#SundayFunday

Easy and tasty egg free mango cake recipe made with no flour, simple pantry ingredients and fresh mangoes. This eggless mango cake is light, moist, and delicious! You don’t even need any electrical equipment such as a stand mixer or electric beater for this recipe.

Ingredients
1 Cup Fine Semolina/Rawa
1 Cup Mango Pulp
¼ Cup Vegetable Oil
¾ Cup Caster Sugar
1 Teaspoon Baking powder
½ Teaspoon Cardamom powder
For Garnish
¼ Cup Chopped Nuts - I used sliced pistachios, almonds & cashew nuts. 

Method
Pre-heat the oven to 170°C.

Mix the semolina, sugar, cardamom and baking powder well.
In a large bowl add oil and mango pulp whisk well with a hand whisk until combined. Then add in the semolina mixture, mix well. Cover and let is sit for 15 minutes.
Pour in a greased round 6"pan. Level the cake and garnish with sliced nuts.

Place in the oven and bake for 30 - 35 minutes. Check after 30 minutes with a toothpick to see if properly baked. If it comes out clean then remove immediately. In my oven it took exactly 35 minutes.

Allow to cool completely.

Slice and serve it's light, moist, and delicious!

My Notes
The mango pulp should not be thick and not too watery.
If you use a pulp that is not thick then let the cake batter stand aside for 20 minutes or until the mango pulp is absorbed by the semolina.
If you place a thin batter directly in the oven it takes a longer time to bake and then browns the cake. You will not get that beautiful, rich yellow color.
