What bad timing.<br /><br />So the recipe is very basic :x, <br />1.throw mangoes into the blender up to about 600 ml, and one tub (250g) of low fat cottage cheese (although you might want to check to make sure its not one of the uber salty ones.. I used one with about 330 mg of sodium per 100g) and blitz it. <br />2. Put half a pack of apricot jelly (well I used apricot and peach no-sugar aeroplane jelly because I couldn't find plain apricot) in a pot with a tablespoon of gelatine (or less if you like it to be a bit more mousse-y) and melt that in 150ml of water. Let it cool a bit and stir in your mango-cheese mix, then pour it into whatever mould you so please :)<br /><br />If you want to put it into jelly mould you might need to increase the gelatine a bit, or if you like it sweeter then use more jelly powder. I'm lazy so I just pour my pudding into a cocktail glass hehe.<br /><br />If you try it I hope you like it ^^ .. its practically a guilt free dessert right?<br /><br />Oh and happy easter! I hope you got lots of chocolate :)Irisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569004503761494300.post-1868093365031790202010-04-01T06:51:24.347-07:002010-04-01T06:51:24.347-07:00They look so decadent!

These are good though--not your typically super-fluffy pancake. More like a cakey brownie... they probably even work better if you *don't* think of them as pancakes. lol. if you do try them, I strongly recommend having the chocolate sauce alongside, because these pancakes are super good at soaking up the sauce!<br /><br />Mango pudding made with creamed cottage cheese and apricot jelly sounds so good--care to share the recipe? I'd love to try it, especially since mango season's just starting up here!Steph (desserts for breakfast)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07806977864958481985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569004503761494300.post-87399550166917242522010-03-31T20:45:16.291-07:002010-03-31T20:45:16.291-07:00Yay!
