Mango Delight (Personal Recipe)

Note: I like devising new recipes and 'Mango delight' dessert is one of my (and my sister's) invention :-) Those who tasted it really liked it - hope you'll like it too !

Ingredients:

• 4 large mangoes (cut in cubes)
• 500ml double cream
• 1 large banana (cut in pieces)
• 2 tsp coco-powder
• 15 rich-tea biscuits (roughly crushed)
• Sugar (as per taste)

Directions:

1. Take a tray that has a good-looking shape and layer it with rich tea biscuits (you can use other similar simple biscuits of other brand). This is layer-1.
2. Beat the double-cream with sugar and use half of it as a layer on top of the biscuits layer. This is layer-2.
3. Use the cut cubes of mangoes (half-of the total quantity of mangoes) and the pieces of banana on to the layer-2. This is layer-3.
4. Place the tray in the fridge for at least half-an-hour and let the layers settle and become hard.
5. Mix coco-powder with about 3-tbsp of cream. Add one tsp of sugar to it. Layer this coco-mixture onto the layers in the tray. This is layer-4.
6. Add another layer of (most of) the remaing double-cream onto it. This is layer-5.
7. Next use the remaining half of the mango cubes as another layer on top of everything. This is layer-6.
8. Finally decorate on the top using thin lines of double-cream and mixture of coco-powder.
9. Place it into the fridge for 5 hours before serving. You are definetely going to impress all at home :-).

Tip: You can use melted chocolate instead of coco-powder !
