Mango Yogurt and Raspberry Gelee
Mango Yogurt and Raspberry Gelee
While typing the title of this entry, I contemplated on a word to use to replace Jelly or Jell-o. I dont think I could use a word like Jell-o to describe this dessert because it reminds me of those supermarket gelatine powder I loved eating growing up, full of sugar and artifical colourings (my favourite was the bright green lime flavoured ones). I thought by using the French version of the word Jelly, it might make it sound more desirable and exotic?!
Anyways, there is a story associated with this dessert. It involved me spending a few precious lunch breaks walking to every single Coles in the CBD on my heels (painful!). I was determined not to stop until I find Davis Gelatine powder, which is the only unflavoured gelatine you can find these days... I had to give up eventually because they simply dont stock these anymore in supermarkets. One ordinary Sunday arvo, I was visiting a friend in a hospital near Kogarah and walked past this small Chinese grocery store. I went in hoping to find some bok-choi and came out with Davis Gelatine powder instead. Amazing (considering its made in NZ)!
Anyways, there is nothing I like more than to use my food processor to blend things together. I find it relaxing to see everything being made into a smooth paste and you can control the colour by adding more or less of something. Its all very artistic Id say! So for this gelee I used fresh fruit (mango and raspberry) pureed by the food processor and Jalnas organic yogurt and honey. I also used a bit of the nudie drinks from Coles. It turned out to be a great combination.
How I wish my daily fruit intake are always in this form...
