I am not a fan of chocolate. But, I like black forest cake. The chocolate bitterness will stay in mouth and trouble consumers. If the dark chocolate is at one extreme, with bitterness the white chocolate is at the other extreme, being too sweet and bland. This was my perception.

I wanted to make some dessert using fresh mango. So I planned a recipe with mango pulp and cornflour. When I started preparing the mango mixture, I realized it will be better if the base is hard enough to hold the mango mixture until it sets.

In the middle of the cooking process, I decided to use chocolate for the base. I thought the bitterness from normal chocolate will dominate the mango flavour and I decided to go for white chocolate. I searched my cool rack in my refrigerator and found white chocolate.

Mangoes

I see that Thai mangoes are sweet and I used them in this recipe. These Thai mangoes are consistently sweet compared to other varieties. The shape is long compared to other varieties and yellow in colour.

White chocolate

I am using cooking chocolate and the brand I used has sugar. These white chocolates come in bars. I used to keep these cooking chocolate bars in the refrigerator to use them when needed.

Dessicated coconut

Coconut and chocolate always remind me of Bounty. The white chocolate is also pairing well with coconut.

Corn flour

I am using cornflour to make the mango puree a little soft and firm when filled above the chocolate.

Agar-agar

Here I am using agar-agar to set the mango puree. The mango puree sits nicely on top of the white chocolate base to make the cups of perfect shape.
