Mangoes Are The New Chocolates On Wedding Receptions

March 19th, 2010

Mangoes are definitely on top of my list when my friends and I go to a party or just a simple lunch out. Everybody loves how I prepare my mangoes. Be it preserved, fresh or baked, it sure is a hit. In our past picnics, everybody has been asking me to make my mango cheesecake. The cream cheese compliments the mangoes really well because the sour taste blends well and balances the sweetness of the ripe mangoes I use. There aren’t very many mango trees around so they cost a little more expensive than the fruits that are available all year long. This fruit is also more available during the summer when the temperature’s kind of hot.

My friend is a wedding coordinator so I get to suggest the best mango recipes that can be served on the wedding reception. Since the first time that a couple from across the block tried to have mangoes as part of their entree, word has spread out and the next thing I knew, I have been getting loads of orders for wedding receptions for mango pies, mango cakes, mango jelly and mango tarts.

Among the bestsellers that I’ve been making for wedding receptions, I fancy mango pies the most especially if it has peaches to go with it. I presume it’s a lot better than apple pie. The smaller version of it is the mango tart which you could serve to guests individually. It is basically better off since your guests would not have to slice off pies themselves which is a little inconvenient for them. Another delightful recipe that I was able to perfect is the mango mousse. It’s a very simple recipe since it is whipped up similar to the way you make a chocolate mousse. It replaces cakes easily because they both have exactly the same texture and you can easily build it looking like a cake.

The only difference is that instead of a dark, chocolatey mousse, you get a light yellow mousse that you can load with mangoes on top. If you want it to be a little more colorful, you may add slices of strawberries and kiwi on top of it and you have your very own version of the mango mousse. It’s practically limitless when you design your own mousse because you can add whatever you want to make your mango mousse look and taste more unique and spectacular. One thing that I am curious of making is a mango pudding. I’ve never seen anyone make one of those. Not even in pastry shops. Perhaps people aren’t ready yet to risk making a mango pudding.

I mean, why not? A mango pudding sounds good. Everyone was also skeptical over the truth that mango pies could replace apple pies before and they were afraid to experiment on making a lot of it. We do not have to limit our taste to the regular and traditional recipes that we are generally accustomed to have. I have even tried ingesting green mangoes with cooked shrimp paste and it was just as heavenly as any other appetizers I’ve tasted.

You can never go wrong with a mango recipe because mangoes tend to be tasteful naturally and you don’t have to produce a taste for it simply to make it delicious. You just need to think of more ways to prepare it. If you ever believe that you are a bit too scared to play around with mango recipes, I advise you start off with making a mango shake to warm up, then try whipping up cream, add mangoes and you’ve got a mango mousse. It’s actually a healthy and delicious fruit that will hopefully leave your friends asking for more.
