Directions:<\/h3>\n

For the mango jelly:<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Blend lime zest, lime juice, mango nectar, one cup mangoes, and a pinch of salt in a blender until very smooth.<\/li>\n
  • Heat gelatin and \u00bd cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in mango pur\u00e9e. Pour jelly into 9″x5″ loaf pan. Carefully add remaining mangoes and stir to combine. Cover jelly tightly and chill until set (about 20\u201330 minutes).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    For the flan:<\/em><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Place rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350\u00b0F. Cook sugar and 1 Tbsp. water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cook, swirling pan occasionally and brushing down sides with a wet pastry brush as needed, until mixture turns deep amber (about 7\u20139 minutes). Scrape caramel into another 9″x5″ loaf pan.<\/li>\n
    • Whisk egg yolks, coconut milk, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl until combined. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into loaf pan with caramel. Cover with foil. Set inside a roasting pan and place on oven rack. Carefully pour hot water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of loaf pan.<\/li>\n
    • Bake flan until just set in the center (it should still wobble a little when gently jiggled) and barely golden on top, 55\u201360 minutes. Let cool (still covered), then chill until cold, at least 4 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Corn and assembly:<\/em><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Spread corn kernels across rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle sugar and salt over kernels, then drizzle oil over kernels and toss to combine. Roast until slightly crisped (not browned) and sticky (about 12\u201315 minutes). Let cool.<\/li>\n
      • Bring sago pearls and \u00bd cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan and cook until translucent and firm-tender (about 8\u201310 minutes). Drain, then combine in a small bowl with coconut milk, stirring well to separate pearls. Let cool.<\/li>\n
      • Toast coconut in a small skillet over medium heat until edges start to brown and crisp (about 5 minutes). Be careful not to overcook.<\/li>\n
      • Cut flan into 1″pieces and divide among tall glasses or wide bowls. Cut mango jelly into desired shapes and arrange over top of flan, then spoon in ice cream, condensed milk, shaved ice, strawberries, macapuno, palm seeds, corn, sago pearls, toasted coconut, red beans, and pinipig as desired.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5265,"menu_order":0,"template":"","tags":[116],"cuisine-recipe-category":[49],"cuisine-recipe-course":[],"cuisine-recipe-cuisine":[],"class_list":["post-5264","cuisine-recipe","type-cuisine-recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-mangoes","cuisine-recipe-category-desserts-and-sweets"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe\/5264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cuisine-recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5264"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-category?post=5264"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-course","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-course?post=5264"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-cuisine","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-cuisine?post=5264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
