Mango mousse cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always wanted to make this since... forever ? I finally made up a recipe for this and im soooooo proud of myself lol

Ingredients : (yes i use a lot of store bought stuff cuz im lazy)

Make sure you have a deep pan because its at least 3 layers. It would help if you have two pan that are the same shape too.

-A pack of cake mix
- Eggs - Milk or water - Vegetable oil
-A pack of Robinson Mango Jello Mix
- Boiling Water
-Cold Water
-A pack of Robinson Mango Pudding mix
-Boiling Water
- Half a cup of mango,slice in small pieces
-500mL of 35% whipping cream


Instructions




1. Follow the instruction on cake mix with the amount of ingredients needed,bake it according to directions in pan 1. (tip:put wax paper at the bottom of the pan for a easy lifting of cake and clean up.



2. Follow the instruction for jello. Pour it at the bottom of pan 2. Refrigerate till solid.

3. Beat whipping cream until creamy. Scoop 1/3 for later use.

4. Follow the instruction for pudding, only add 1/3 of the amount of water they instruct you to.

5. Fold pudding mixture into whipping cream, and add slice mango

6. Spread whipping cream mixture onto solid jello , refrigerate until firm

7. cut a thin layer of the cake, lay it on top of the firm whipping cream mixture

8. Repeat step if trying to create multi-layer cake

9. Flip the pan over a plate and decorate with whipping cream, fruit.

10 (optional) for a nice wrinkly surface, scoop the jello off the pan instead of having it at the bottom of the pan and lay on top of the whipping cream mixture afterwards.

We made Tobiko (small orange flying fish roe), maki with shinko ,crab meat,and tobiko, also made ebi(shrimp) and ika (squid) sushis. yum yum yum!

shrimp ~ put a toothpick in the middle of the shrimp before boiling. Boil for about 5 minutes.
shinko ~store bought :D

Me ~with my fav. sushi ingredients of all time~tobiko!!!!!

The chefs ~ Sandra my roommates & her bf michael ..thank you!!!!!

Preparation~Tips~ cover that wood sushi rolling thingy (can be bought anywhere these days) with plastic wraps, make sure u have a bowl of water handy so your hands won't get sticky with rice !

Only put that much rice on the seaweed because u dont want it to burst! Then add the other ingredients and roll it away! Make sure you press it firmly!

I was originally going to make cream of corn , or try to make cream of corn, only to figure out that theres no corn in my house :p So i found whatever in my house and add to the creamy base. I also ran out of butter so used vegetable oil...works fine ^^
1. Add the vegetable oil into a medium size saucer pan, gradually add flour, mix well
2. Add evaporating milk , then the chicken broth, stir well
3. Add the mash potato mix or the potatoes, stir.
4. Add all the seafood. Add water and/or evaporating milk if its too thick. Season with salt and pepper
