Summer is here, a time to entertain guests or to have 'me time'relaxing all by yourself. Sometime we settle for the safe option by having a simple decor around. If it is so you can think to find something you love and then run with it like making small changes instantly to refresh your porch , veranda, balcony, cosy corner or near the bay window to create a decorative space with floor cushions, light throws which will bring a sense of joy for you/friends to relax.
It's hot summer for us and did a small set up in our balcony with floor cushions and with a floral printed cloth. Potted Hydrangeas added beauty to the setting. Ice creams and fruit punches are compliments of the season and adding them just enjoyable.
It's mango season here in our region and they make every part of our dish from curries, chutneys to desserts till the season gets over. Sharing a simple easy to make mango ice cream recipe here to beat the heat.
Recipe.....
2 ripe mangoes, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Peel and chop the mangoes into small pieces. Blend them into a smooth puree. If you prefer a chunky texture blend only half and chop the rest into small chunks. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. (This step is crucial for a creamy texture) Gently fold the mango puree, condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream. Ensure the mixture well combined. Now pour the mixture to a air tight container. Freeze for six hours or over night. Scoop and garnish with mango slices in a bowl or to a cone.
