Ingredients
For the Green Pea Layer
- 1 cup Peas boiled, green
- 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 2 tbsp Milk condensed
- 1/4 cup Coconut grated
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom ground
For the White Cheddar Layer
- 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup Coconut grated
- 2 tbsp Milk condensed
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom ground
For the Mango Layer
- 1 cup Mango Puree
- 1 tsp Corn Flour
For Assembly
- 11 Oreo Biscuits
- 1/2 cup Fruits chopped, dried
- 11 Cherries
Instructions
- In a frying pan, combine the boiled green peas, shredded cheddar cheese, condensed milk, ground cardamom, and grated coconut.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and forms a dough-like consistency. This creates the vibrant green pea layer. Set aside to cool.
- In the same pan, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, grated coconut, condensed milk, and ground cardamom.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and forms a dough-like consistency. This forms the creamy white cheddar layer. Set aside to cool.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the mango puree and cornstarch.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. This prevents the mango layer from being too runny. Set aside to cool.
- To assemble the parfaits, place an Oreo biscuit at the bottom of each serving glass. This serves as a sturdy base.
- Layer the green pea mixture on top of the biscuit, followed by a sprinkle of chopped dried fruits.
- Next, add a layer of the white cheddar mixture, followed by a layer of the mango puree.
- Garnish each parfait with a cherry for a final touch of sweetness and color.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- If mango puree is cooked with a teaspoon of corn flour, it will help thicken the mixture and prevent it from becoming runny.
- Using an Oreo base makes the dessert easier to handle.
- For added color and nutrition, mix in finely grated carrots or beetroot with the green peas. Their sweetness complements the condensed milk and creates a visually appealing dessert.
- Use silicon molds or cookie cutters to create fun shapes with the dessert mixture before chilling. This adds an interactive element to snack time.
- Toast the grated coconut in a dry pan before adding it to the mixture to enhance its flavor and add a bit of crunch.
Expert Tips
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat condensed milk. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, consider using a reduced-sugar variety.
- If using fresh mango, ensure it's ripe but firm for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen mango, thaw it completely before blending to avoid a watery puree.
- Get creative with the toppings! Chopped nuts, dried fruit, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce can add extra flavor and visual appeal.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- Serve slightly chilled for a firmer texture.
