Mango Ice Cream and Sorbet

Hi... I'm back!!! It feels like too long to wait to post this Mango Ice Cream and Sorbet. You know why?? Cuz this one really took me ages to enjoy *hahaha* I actually made 'em last week the day after "wedang ronde". It was supposed to be few hours as said in the recipe I got from someone's cooking blog but mine was taking me 2 days *hiks hiks hiks* It took me 1 day to wait just to beat it for 1st time, meanwhile the recipe said need to beat for at least 2 or 3 times to soften the ice cream. Aahhh.... I should've just bought a box from the shop or I should get an ice cream maker :p Lucky the sorbet is quicker, and they are more mangoish than the ice cream.


Any way, it finally done. Why did I choose to make mango flavour? Mango is in season *yay yay* Everywhere you go you see mangos... on the side street, at the supermarket and hip at the local markets everywhere. They are cheap...cheap...cheap... only Rp.5000/kilo. And even our customers send mangos to the office *hihihi*
