I love cakes and pastries but I hate Sansrival. It's almost always too sweet that it makes my throat sore. Thus, the fact that I'm devoting an entire post to this Mango Sans Rival from San Lo's says a lot.I got several yummy cakes for my birthday a couple of days ago, but this particular one stood out from the rest of the pack. I was told to keep it in the freezer, which I did. Come dinner time, I took it out and had a slice.
Nothing could've prepared me for the heavenly experience that is putting a spoonful of San Lo's Mango Sansrival in my mouth. The frozen cream didn't taste like a stick of salted butter like most Sansrival frostings do. It tasted exactly like slightly sweetened frozen cream, which complemented the equally frozen sweet-sour ripe mango cubes perfectly. Underneath were layers of toasted meringue with bits of chopped almonds and pecans plus more cream in between. There really aren't enough words to describe how good San Lo's Famous Mango Sansrival is.Now this is a Sansrival that actually lives up to it's name, since sans rival is French for "without rival". I've never met a Sansrival that I loved until I had a bite of San Lo's Mango Sansrival. The only downside of this dessert is that our freezer is much too powerful for it, so slicing it is like trying to slice a brick. Solution: Bring it down to the refrigerator before dinner so it softens a bit.
San Lo's Mango Sansrival is available in two sizes:
- 8" x 4" = P385
- 8" x 8" = P760
I've heard great things about San Lo's empanadas and tortas too. :D
