MANGOMISU

I'll be posting newly found, tried and tested recipes on this blog from now on.. it's easier to manage than to post at 2 different avenues..

 

It's also been a while since i last posted any new recipes... not tat i tried much more.. but there are certainly some recipes worth mentioning!!... :) for instance, one of my favourite - Mangomisu.. it's actually Tiramisu but mango-flavoured.. aaaaah... the mere mention of it has made me drooooool...

first saw it on a magazine cover of "Delicious".. it was sooo awe-inspiring that i JUST HAD TO TRY IT!!... hahahhaa.. it was very easy actually - fuss-free and no bake!.. but ooops!.. not for the pregnant or kids below 2 yrs old yah... and tat's y i've to stop making this for awhile coz Anousha will surely give me that sad, pitiful look if i dun give her at least a bite!... :p

But of coz my picture does injustice to the original picture.. but as long as it tastes good.. who cares?!.. :p
