Mangoes with vanilla cream

The Philippines is widely known for its freshest and sweetest mangoes! And once again, it is the time of the year again when mangoes are aplenty, harvests seems endless. ;) Here in our home, we actually have a lot of mango trees. It's exciting when I get to pick fruits, and eat them. They feel and taste so fresh! It really is different when they are grown from your own backyard. Speaking of which, we have a lot of vegetables thriving in our backyard soil, I love it except for the bitter gourd, I pray for its demise. But that is another story! ;)

Now, going back to the mangoes...... 
Pardon the very low-res photos. They were taken through my iPad. :(

My officemate, Ara, learned a vanilla cream recipe when she tasted a dessert offering from one of the fast food restaurants here in Manila. She mentioned that they had this dessert with suman (rice cake?) topped with mangoes, and has this yummy sauce. 

So she ended up calling the restaurant, asking what the sauce was, and they obliged to mention that it was vanilla cream sauce.

So we did our very own version, minus the suman of course! 

I'm telling you, it IS yummy. It's perfect for desserts or even snacks! 

Sharing the recipe with you guys:

 Sooo, this was what we came up with. Ara did her own research and experimented on the recipes online, and she shared this recipe with me:

1 and 1/2 cup of whipping cream

1 cup of sugar

2 tablespoons of flour

1/2 of butter

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions:

Over medium heat, beat the whipping cream, sugar and flour until smooth, add the butter and continue mixing until it starts to boil. Remove from the heat source then stir in the vanilla extract. Serve chilled or warm. 

Enjoy!!!

Happy summer!

 That's me and Ara , in matching outfits! :} 'Til then!
