mango

Mangos, strawberries, blueberries and apples form the base of this incredible fruit crisp! Welcome Spring!

Sabayon from the Italian zabaglione - isn't that a beautiful word for a foamy creamy dessert with fruit? Once you've tried, you're hooked!

Swee always submits the most beautiful dishes - carefully crafted and full of delicate, balanced flavors. This cake is no exception.

I'll admit that I had to Google "dacquoise," which is a layered cake, usually served chilled and accompanied by fruit. A very fitting definition for this dessert. Swee's layers of coconut-lime cake are intermingled with mango gelee, passionfruit and mango bavarian cream and lemongrass bavarian cream. Then, the whole thing is topped with white chocolate ganache.

You're supposed to chill this beauty for 3-6 hours before serving, but if you're anything like me you're already contemplating how to take a bite!

This cake renders me speechless - it's a work of art! It's one of those desserts that, when placed in front of you, looks too pretty to eat.

A gorgeous chocolate-vanilla sponge cake encircles alternating layers of vanilla sponge cake and fresh mango mousse before the whole thing is sealed with a mango puree topping. 

Correction: alllmost too good to eat. Maybe just a bite...
