Description
Jackfruit is one among my favourite fruits. Anything and everything made with this humble fruit is a sure delight to me. Every time home is over loaded with jackfruits during its season, I make sure to come up with a new dessert. My kids when growing up, spotting a jackfruit dessert in the fridge was cause to exult to them. I have no shame in admitting that I still have a soft spot for the bright sunny yellow, sweet, marvellous textured fruit. So this time it was a mousse made with jackfruits. Jackfruits with coconut milk combination is a no fail deal always. To be on the safer side just went ahead with the known devil killer combo. Did add a bit of custard powder for a smooth velvety effect to the mousse. This dessert was no – brainer to prepare. The final result was ultimate yummy dessert. Served it at a family gathering in the evening. We all did dig into family secrets as we ate our heart outs with these mousses. Well, when food is good, rest around the “gup – shup ” will be even better.
