Chocolate Mango Mousse by Red Ribbon

Our Noche Buena menu is almost complete.. dishes, ham, queso de bola, ice cream.. but cake. So when I heard that Red Ribbon createdChocolate Mango Mousse( a limited edition premium cake), I just have to try one and see for myself if it is worth the space on our table (and on our tummy) this coming Christmas.

Red Ribbon combines two of the most loved dessert ingredients to create one delightful cake. It is made with a layer of creamy mango mouse with juicy mango bits on top of silky chocolate mousse and moist chocolate pound cake and generously embraced with chocolate ganache. As a finale, mango scoops and shaved chocolate are placed on top to makeChocolate Mango Mousseboth delicious and beautiful.

Chocolate Mango Mousse is available for only P700.00 for a whole cake and P70.00 for a slice. I bought a whole for the whole family and for some friends who are came last Saturday. I find the cake so smooth and so addicting. It is not too sweet, just the right amount of sweetness coming from the chocolate and mango.

So yes, this will be the cake in our Noche Buena table.

Soyami Nachos Salad

One of the kind people/company who agreed to grace our party was Soyami Soya Chips. I fisrt had a taste of this chip last October. We were invited to attend thelaunch of Soyami Soya Chips. You know I never really like chips, specially for my kids. I just felt that it’s not healthy.. but a chips made out of Soya.. now that is something we all can eat. In fact, I even let Sati had a taste of this healthy chips.

Since I had a taste of Soyami, I long for the day where I can prepare it as Nacho salad. In case you did not notice,baliw kami sa Tacos, nachos at chili con carne.

When I found out we had someSoyami treats in our loot bag, I did not hesitate to prepare nachos, Soyami style.. and ohh… I can’t get enough of it! Soyami Soya Chips is so perfect for Nachos Salad!

Magnolia Ice Cream Christmas Limited Edition 2010

When was the last time you had Magnolia Ice Cream?

Definitely not during 1996 to 2001, because that time, it’s not Magnolia Ice Cream, rather Nestle Magnolia. It was shocking to know that Magnolia and Nestle are two different Ice Cream brand. Even my husband thought that Nestle is a low end brand of Magnolia Ice Cream. Confusing right? Oh well, now you know, don’t be confused again. The Magnolia that we love is back!

I must admit that when it comes to Vanilla flavor, we really look for the Magnolia seal, specially Ube flavor (the only flavor that we all love). Theirs is the creamiest. And this Christmas, Magnolia treats us to “Nuts, Cakes and Fruits”. TheMagnolia Ice Cream Christmas Limited Edition 2010

Vanilla Praline. Frozen dairy dessert, prepared from the finest quality raw materials; contains cashew praline with streaks of caramel ripple in a Vanilla Ice cream base

Caramel Cheesecake. Frozen dairy dessert, prepared from the finest quality raw materials; contains cheesecake bits with streaks of caramel ripple in a Vanilla Ice cream base

Apple Strudel. Frozen dairy dessert, prepared from the finest quality raw materials; contains apple cinnamon bits with crushed chocolate pretzels swirled with a combination of green and red apple ripple. Enhanced with creamy vanilla flavor.

Magnolia Ice Cream Christmas Limited Edition 2010 is available from November 15, 2010 to February 2011 in 1.5L, in-mould labeling with tub wrap.

During the taste test we had, I fell in love withApple Strudeland why not? the taste, the smell and the appearance is so Chrismassy.. (if there is such a word). I knew right away that this will be the ice cream of our noche buena. While it was being described to us, Vanilla Praline was most appealing to me. I don’t get the pretzels in the Apple Strudel but when I had a taste of it.. oh….. nomnomnom (shout out to Jonel.. thanks!) The combination of crushed chocolate pretzels and the apple cinnamon bits plus the creamy vanilla flavor are soooo good.. the pretzels, I want so much!

It was such a surprise that Magnolia gave us a tub of each flavor to take home, in a thermo bag of course. The kids enjoy it but they like Caramel Cheesecake while I stay with Apple Strudel. In my effort to preserve my tub, I tried theirs (Caramel Cheesecake and Vanilla Praline), and discovered that it has the same nomnomnom goodness as with Apple Strudel. Vanilla.. caramel..nomnomnom..
