Parle G Tarts/Parle G Crumble

Tarts or the base is made with Parle-G one of the India's most popular biscuit or cookie commonly served with tea.

I love to have Parle-G with my morning tea. It can be also used as a base for many desserts. Parle-G biscuit Cake is one of the many popular recipes that one can make using these biscuits.

Mango Kalakand

I made this version of Instant Mango Kalakand fresh Indian Cottage Cheese(Paneer), Condensed milk and White Chocolate. Flavored it with my homemade Thandai Powder that I love to use in Indian desserts. You can also use cardamom powder or nutmeg powder or skip any of these and simply use vanilla essence.

I have used canned Mango Puree here, you can use pureed fresh mangoes. Adjust sugar accordingly.

Serving Suggestions

To serve it in a simple way, serve Mango Kalakand in small shot glasses with biscuit base, top with mango kalakand and chopped nuts. Easy to serve at parties and gatherings.

You can make only Mango Kalakand without tarts or crumble, set it in a rectangular dish, cut in squares and serve.

Also, if you do not have these tart molds, then just spread the biscuit layer in a rectangular dish press it and chill it for a while, just like in tarts and then set kalakand on it. Cut in square pieces and serve.
