Eggless Mango Saffron Pistachio Tart Cake … as delicious as it is pretty!

Eggless Mango Saffron Pistachio Tart Cake… Mangoes, saffron and pistachios come together to create magic, a cake worth every crumb! Hello mango season, I think this is my favourite season just because we are blessed by the best mangoes there ever were!

M is for May, M is for mangoes, or rather an abundance of mangoes. It’s probably the only way to survive the unforgiving, harsh Indian summer where the plains of North India sizzle at 45C-50C. We are quite happy to drown under a deluge of the king of fruits, the luscious mango that makes summer bearable, beautiful too!

If you stop by my feed on Instagram, you might instantly pick out my love for desserts in seasonal flavours, a touch of saffron, a sprinkling of pistachios, that finish with edible flowers or rose petals. For me, it’s always been the visuals and the taste, both equally important, both come together to tell the story like the screenshot below!

These days I’m smitten with mangoes as you might have already guessed. I love the pop of colour they add, I love how beautifully they can lift up a dessert, how well they compliment gentle flavours like rose, saffron, pistachio and how incredibly delicious they are! It’s a fruit we absolutely love to love on the subcontinent, and I believe it brings out the best of our creativity.

This Eggless Mango Saffron Pistachio Tart Cake brings together one of my favourite flavour combinations for summer, a celebration of all things Indian! You can find a load of these flavours in Indian desserts or mithai, and they always remind you of how beautifully the ingredients pair together.

Quintessentially Indian, our cuisine is a riot of colours with flavours like these, an inspiration to create pleasing desserts! I really enjoy doing just that …

The Eggless Mango Saffron Pistachio Tart Cake Recipe is an eggless cake baked in a special tart tin with an indent, a cake that turned out as delicious as it was pretty. The recipe is a simple one bowl part wholegrain eggless pistachio saffron sponge baked up beautifully in this favourite flan tin.

I doused the cake generously with a deep infused saffron milk, filled the indent of the flan tin {shared below} with the best mangoes of the season, then smothered them with a cream filling. Every slice of the cake is delightful and screams mango season. If you’re looking for the special mango cake this season, honestly this is it!

Eggless Raspberry Chocolate Cake… The absolute joy of pretty desserts!

Eggless Raspberry Chocolate Cake… The joy of small desserts! An eggless chocolate sponge, deep delicious ganache, bright fresh raspberries topped with the smoothest and most luxurious mascarpone cream. The flavours do a magic dance on the palette, each spoonful quite delightful. The raspberries were quite special here though you can always use strawberries if you like.

It’s not often I use fresh raspberries. When I do, I like to make it special just like this no gelatine, vegetarian pistachio panna cotta below topped with a raspberry compote, or then the petite dessert cake I’m sharing today.

I had a small batch of the freshest raspberries and the colour just had me so inspired that I had to make something pretty, something colorful, and of course something preferably with chocolate as soon as possible. Why chocolate? It’s one of my most favourite ingredients to play with, one that pairs beautifully with any red berries! I’ve even written a cookbook on chocolate, published by Penguin.

This pretty little cake seems perfect for Spring. Raspberries are very very perishable here, so the Eggless Raspberry Chocolate Cake was what I made in a hurry. It’s another small dessert added to my repertoire of petite colourful desserts, something I absolutely love creating!

Addictive Pistachio Panna Cotta with Raspberry Sauce… colourful dessert you will love

Pistachio Panna Cotta with Raspberry Sauce … a gently set, smooth, soft no gelatine panna cotta, with pistachios really adding Spring feels. The bright, vibrant raspberries add just the right tang to every spoon of this dessert. You could use a strawberry sauce too or perhaps a deep saffron jelly to top it.

Hello Spring. There’s an energy in the air and everything feels lighter already. It’s a welcome break from a long, cold winter, though it’s turning out to be a very short Spring. We barely had two weeks of below 20C temperatures and now we’re well into the 30’s, a sign that summer is well on it’s way.

I had some pistachios left over from an earlier collaboration with the USDA and had been waiting to make a pistachio panna cotta for a bit. The set is never easy to get when you go the no gelatine way. It’s also not the same as a jiggly, smooth, jelly like classic gelatine panna cotta set because of differing properties of the plant based setting agent, agar agar. This is the brand I use. The good thing about using agar agar is that you can adjust the quantities, reheat the mixture and begin again if the set is not to your liking.

I reached this panna cotta set after several attempts. Even if the classic panna cotta jiggle was missing, the taste of this Pistachio Panna Cotta with raspberry sauce was sublime. Smooth, soft, gentle, rich, delicious, indulgent … pistachios can offer so much to a simple dessert, it’s amazing!

One look at the collage above, and you can easily tell that pistachio is one of my favourite ingredients in desserts. It’s also so absolutely versatile as a topping, a garnish for a pop of colour. Pistachios pair beautifully with some of my favourite flavours – saffron, strawberries, chocolate, rose, orange, mangoes, apricots, cherries, plums, vanilla too. And of course with raspberries like in the Pistachio Panna Cotta!
