Mangoes are so much in season… before the madness ends, I wanted to take advantage by trying loads of recipes. Unfortunately, whatever we seem to get at home, is just disappearing! My kids at home eat one mango after another as though they both are competing for the title of the “fastest mango eater”! Moreover I had mentioned earlier that they are not very fond of their fruits being juiced, so I don’t bother myself to make any milkshake or juice for them. I don’t think I have to mention about the men in the house! The only thing I could make was the Mango Lassi and the other was this…
But I had to share this trifle that I made with you… Something that the kids and I devoured when we were not in a mood for an elaborate lunch – or read in between the lines, a lazy ummi!!! Hehe… No, no… don’t worry, not that I starved them, in fact went for a very light lunch in the form of a sandwich, rather than our usually elaborate “rice, curry, stir fry and fish” meals and followed it up with this trifle. An awesome combination of the king of fruit itself, mango ice-cream, cake, nuts and some spices to spike it up, this is such an easy dessert to put together and devoured in the same speed!
PST: This is a photo intensive post… too many pictures and slides… kindly bare with me, this beauty of a dessert just kept tempting me to click and click and finally I had such a tough time just finalizing on which pictures need to be featured… 🙂
Ending with an “AAM” joke…

Since the long Pakistani mangoes are going to come into season anytime, I am really excited… hopefully I get to try some more recipes, at least one cake! Sheesh, do I sound desperate??? I hope so not… 🙂
