I have another good reason to try out another mango cheese cake recipe: My girls' God Mom's Birthday on the 28th of Aug.
I digged through my limited cheese cake cook books collection and managed to find a German cheese cake recipe as the guide for my trial. The book suggested using Mascarpone cheese and I added more personal touch and more ingredients like mango puree, diced mango. I lastly put a layer of mango puree gelatin on top to prettify the cake. I did this cake with 100% effort and love. It has to be perfect all the way, so I baked the crust as well.
God Mom commented: "can sell". I hope she said that not because of my hard work and out of courtesy :> she's always a woman of truth. She worked in 5-star hotel before and she knows how's their pastry taste like...high end taste leh!
To be honest, I'm quite happy with the result. Surprisingly it is not cheesy. It is a very light, smooth and refreshing cheese cake, most suitable for summer. It comes with a subtle mango flavour, and not to forget the layer of mango gelatin that boasts its identity. Its presentation is also to my satisfaction - less is more, simple is elegant. Wording... yet to improve although it is better than what I did the last time (I wonder why my white chocolate can't be hardened??? I used those off the shelf white chocolate bar and did lots of pattern but none of them can stand in room temperature... so can only put some of them flat on the cake).
I wanted to take a photo of Diana with the cake for this post but she refused. So my eldest girl, Shanice, volunteered with great enthusiasm, presenting this cake to her beloved God Mom.
Happy Birthday Diana!!
