mango icebox cake
Today's recipe is perfect for the summer heat. It is very refreshing and not too sweet. It solves the craving or need for cake without doing any baking at all :) . It is similar to a Filipino dessert called mango float , but my version has significantly less sugar . Relying more on the sweetness of the mangoes. As always I hope you give this a try and share it with loved ones ;)
