Mango Jelly Salad
Think of this dessert as the long youngest hot cousin of Buko Pandan, with almost similar preparation but instead of pandan leaves and coconut meat we will be using only mangoes. Mango Jelly Salad is a Filipino Salad dessert prepared with cubed mangoes, mango flavoured agar jelly and nata de coco served in a thickened cream and condensed milk sauce, it is a nice summer desert which is very refreshing, tangy, sweet and creamy. It can also be prepared during special occasions like this coming Christmas and New Year. This dessert is what a Mango lovers dreams are made off, and even if you are not a mango lover there is no reason not to like this, trust me it’s so good but don’t blame me if this dessert adds a few inches on your waist.
Buko Pandan is so 90’s why not try this dessert salad for a change.
