CONDENSED MILK MANGO SORBET

I can officially say I'm in love with mango sorbet. Thus one is especially creamy because I used condensed milk to add that touch of richness that comes with the condensed milk. The best part of this sorbet is that it only requires tow ingredients and no machine to create such a decadent dessert. It is so smooth it just slides down your throat. This reminds me of when we were young and we would get ice cream after attending church. It was always a Lyons Maid ice cream. I remember trying to lick it as slow as possible so tat it does not melt. There was always that satisfaction that came with being the last person to finish your ice cream. You'd gleefully smile as your siblings looked at your ice cream while their hands were empty. Aki, kids are so funnily evil, haha! Of course you'd use that to bribe your way out of some chores. One lick of your melting ice cream and they get to do for you your choice of chore for the day or even week! Aaaaaah, good times. Sorbets are so versatile you can even make a boozy one for that weekend you feel like partying! The only hard part of making thus sorbet is waiting for it to freeze, though you can eat it as is, still deliciously smooth.

RUM & RAISIN CHOCOLATE MANGO LASSI

I think Lassis are the best thing to happen to dessert drinks. So easy to make and delicious as well. Lassis come in many different flavors that I would really like to try. Some are sweet, others salty, some include herbs like mint and most have fruit as the main ingredients. Today I give you a twist to the traditional Mango Lassi. A Lassi is basically just a yogurt based mango milkshake or a smoothie is you will. You can even add spices like Cardamon, Nutmeg or even Cinnamon.The fruits can be canned, fresh or frozen, if using frozen then you do not really need to add ice cubes. I wanted to up the flavor of the Mango Lassi by adding my favorite chocolate, Rum&Raisin Dairyland Chocolate!
