We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
I have an even softer spot for desserts that can be ready in minutes (some call it impatience). Last night, I bastardized a Nigella recipe in a desperate attempt to make a mango refrigerator cake--without cream, condensed milk, or mangoes. Tita Mimi, my chef du jour aunt (and Julia Child of my heart) insisted I could still make it with whipped cream, vanilla yogurt, and leftover dried mangoes. And so I dared.
Voila--a healthier version of the fridge cake recipe--ready in 10 minutes! The yogurt lends itself nicely to the graham cracker crust and bits of dried mango make a chewy surprise. Sooo good you'll lick the bowl (I did). I am the No-Bake Queen.
Want the recipe? Leave a comment and I'll think about it.
