Sweet dessert indulgence from Just Heavenly

Finally found a chance to drop by their new shop located outside Cold Storage @ Jaya1 called ‘A slice of heaven’.

After reading many reviews, the bar was set high.

Tried their popular 'Top Choices':

Chocolate durian cake

Banana custard pie

There are real durian pieces in the filling, nice but very rich. Personally find the chocolate combination too heavy for my liking. But hey, we all have different preferences right?! Much prefer their banana pie – the main feature for me was the crust. It was sweet, light and crunchy, what a good pate brisee base crumb should be - yum!

Iced Mango

If you enjoy mangoes as much as MP, then this is a MUST TRY. All you really need is a blender, not forgetting the all important ingredients - mangoes.

Sometimes, you can get a pretty good deal for ‘ripe’ mangoes at the supermarket.

This recipe is pretty simple. All you have to do is add some blended mangoes, sugar, whipping cream then FREEZE and…..viola……you get iced mango!!! Amazing huh? :)

Its light, creamy and slightly icey, not so sweet too…..so can pig out without the usual waistline guilt. Must say that the honey really adds a nice light flavour to this ice cream.

Here's what I used:

Ingredients
230g Non-dairy whipping cream
50g icing sugar
2 tbsp good quality honey
380g mango
100g low fat plain yogurt (or alternatively can use a flavoured one)
1 tbsp coffee mate (optional)
1/2 vanila essence (optional)

Method:

1. Blend mangoes, sugar, honey, vanilla essence and yogurt to a smooth consistency. If you prefer some mango chucks then blend it accordingly or leave 50g diced mangoes and add separately to the mixture at the end.
2. In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff.
3. Pour in mango puree and beat mixture on low until properly incorporated.
4. If you own an ice cream maker then churn it before freezing it. Alternatively, pour into tub and freeze for 3 hours. Take mixture out and beat again before putting mixture back into the fridge to freeze overnight.

Bench notes – If you are not a sugar fan, note that the yogurt and whipping cream are slightly sweetened so you might want to adjust the sugar amount. Other suggestions are using brown sugar or honey or even golden/maple syrup for a deeper flavour.

With great reviews from MP, I'm all ready and excited to try other flavours!! :)
