Try a Salted Mango Mousse Recipe and Check Out Windsor Salt’s New Look-Giveaway

June 15, 2016 by Kathryn 136 Comments

One of the reasons I love cooking with salt is its almost magical ability to change the character of another food when the two are paired together. Salted caramel has become a staple in any dessert-lovers recipe box, since the salt cuts the richness of the caramel while also enhancing its sweetness. Chocolate and sea salt are used in much the same way. But one of the lesser known pairings is salt and fresh fruit. So when Windsor Salt wanted me to spread the word about its new packaging and logo design with a recipe creation, I decided it was time to highlight that pairing in my recipe!

Salted Mango Mousse

I first tried salt and fresh fruit at the recommendation of Chef David Wood. He recommended eating fresh, ripe pineapple sprinkled with coarse salt, and promised the saltiness would make the pineapple even more sweet and flavourful. He was right, and pineapple with salt has been one of my favourite summer desserts for years now. Since the salt had worked so well with the tropical flavour of the pineapple, I had a feeling it would work well with other tropical favours too. And after creating this Salted Mango Mousse recipe, I was proven right!

Ingredients

  • 4 ripe mangoes peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp. lime juice
  • 1 package 7g unflavoured gelatin
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1 cup chopped fruit mango, strawberries, kiwi, etc
  • 2 tsp. Windsor Kosher Salt

Instructions

  1. Puree mangoes in food processor until smooth. Mix in sugar, lime juice and gelatin powder until fully combined.
  2. Refrigerate for approximately 20 minutes, until mango mixture just starts to thicken.
  3. Meanwhile, whip cream until it forms stiff peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture until well mixed.
  4. Pour into individual serving dishes and refrigerate until set, about four hours.
  5. Top with chopped fruit and sprinkle 1/2 tsp. Windsor Kosher Salt over each serving. Serve immediately.

The combination of sweet and creamy mango with the bite from the salt was every bit as delectable as I had hoped it would be. The slight crunch added some great texture to the dessert as well. And while I initially added kiwi on top to ensure a good blend of colours, I was thrilled with how well the flavours went together too. This tasty treat could easily be customized with different chopped fruit on top as well. I’m going to try strawberry and mango next time!

Looking for other great recipes using mango? This tropical Mango Bread recipe is a must-try! It freezes wonderfully so that you can enjoy the taste of mango at its best in the coming months!

Whipping up this dessert gave me a new appreciation for just how versatile salt can be, and Windsor Kosher Salt is a personal favourite since it adds that extra bit of crunch and flavour to any dish. Keep an eye out for the new Windsor Salt boxes in stores across Canada and give this dessert a try the next time mangoes are on sale. You’ll be amazed to see how much more magical a tropical fruit can become with a little help from Windsor!

Gluten-Free Eating is Pure Joy with Inspired by Happiness Gluten-Free Cakes-Giveaway

February 8, 2016 by Kathryn 124 Comments

If there’s one thing that almost everyone loves, it’s cake. A big slice of moist cake covered in creamy icing is such a treat whether it’s for a birthday celebration or just a way to make an ordinary day more special. But for someone with food sensitivities, finding a cake that’s appropriate for a special diet yet still mouth-watering can be harder than it seems. Inspired by Happiness, a company that wants everyone to be able to enjoy tasty cake any time, wants to change that with its new gluten-free cakes. And recently I had the chance to test them out and see what I thought!

I received a Cravin’ for Cookies & Cream and a Dreamin’ of Chocolate layer cake to test, carefully packaged on dry ice to arrive frozen. I loved that when kept frozen, these cakes stay fresh and delicious for up to six months. Once thawed, they can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week. I let my boys decide which cake they wanted to try first, and both of them decided the Cookies & Cream cake was the one we had to try. I defrosted the cake at room temperature for about fifteen minutes and then cut a slice for each of us. [Read more…]

September is apple season and to me, that always means apple crisp! Crisps are one of my all-time favourite desserts and while I love the tart rhubarb crisps that I often make in the spring, I also adore a sweet and spicy apple crisp when fall arrives.
