Mango Float
Mango Float

One of my favorite Filipino deserts. The recipe comes from my Filipino friend and helper, Marina. This desert can be made with two layers of filling or three depending on the size of your baking pan. I usually use a smaller glass pan with more layers, because I like the layers, it fits in the refrigerator better, and with the glass you can see the pretty layers. :) Cooking time doesn't include the time to chill in the refrigerator or freezer. Serving size can vary by the size dish you use. You can use a large dish with only 1 or 2 layers and take it to a potluck to feed many or a small dish for the family. I put the serving size for a smaller dish with 3 layers.

Ensaimada- Sweet Rolls/Buns

My version of the wonderful Filipino bread. Soft, very rich, sweet...perfection! The cheese seems like a strange addition, but you must try it to believe it. This looks like a wildly complicated recipe--in a way it is- but making bread is very soothing to me. Just be sure to read the recipe through a few times before you start.
