    Re: Yummy mango mousse(fat free)

    Hi Shal
    Could you please tell me the brand name of the sugar-free mango pulp available in Whole Foods? I love Mangoes but hubby is diabetic and I am ..hmmm... lets say I have been growing laterally these past years! I plan to substitute sugar with Splenda. Or atleast half-sugar, half-Splenda.

    Also, would I still use 3/4th can of the Whole foods mango pulp?

    I believe I ate this dessert at a friend's place some time ago. I was in heaven after eating a few servings :mrgreen: - so forgot to ask the recipe. My friend had put the dessert on a pie crust and then kept in the fridge for a few hours! So it was a mango pie.

    Waiting to hear from you eagerly!

    Regards
    Gayathri

    KHUBANI KA MEETHA

    dry apricots - 250 gms
    sugar - 100 gms
    fresh cream - 1 cup . whipped
    almond slices - to garnish

    1. soak and boil apricots in water till cooked; remove any seeds.
    2. strain and add sugar; cook till sugar dissolves.
    3.chill in individual bowls.
    4. add fresh cream on top and sprinkle with almond slices.
    5. serve cold.

    khubani is the urdu name of apricot !!
    the apricots are washed and then soaked in water....then cooked in the water to get a jelly like consistency, adding sugar ;then strained.
    at this point a few drops of lemon juice and a pinch of salt may be added.
    some like to add a knob of butter too!!
    the traditional recipe calls for the fresh cream, but nowadays it is also served with custard or ice cream.
    garnished with blanched, skinless almond slices.; some serve it with the blanched apricot kernels too!!

    2. in the same ghee , fry the vermicelli till golden ;keep aside.
    3. dissolve sugar in 500ml of water and make a syrup by heating
    4. add boiled milk to this and add cardamom powder. simmer a few minutes more.(the total 2 liters ie.,1500ml milk and 500 ml water, should reduce to 1500 ml) and turn off the flame.
    5. add the vermicelli without forming lumps and the dates.
