From the creamy Mango Matcha Cheesecake to the indulgent Mango Gateaux and the refreshing Fresh Mango Custard Tart, each dessert is designed to showcase the fruit’s tropical charm and elevate the summer experience.
“By pairing mangoes with ingredients like matcha, almonds and even chocolate, we create unique flavour combinations that are both nostalgic and innovative,” says chef Akashdeep. “Our goal was to create a menu that celebrates tropical fruits, playful flavours, and the carefree mood of summer, offering guests a sweet escape that feels like a holiday on a plate.”
Whether it’s 2 am or just post-party o’clock, waltz into Novotel Goa Panjim for a fix of delicious desserts that'll hit all the right notes, as in Goa, the night doesn’t end with the last song; it ends with something sweet.
Ensuring quality and freshness is top priority, even during the late-night service, and the chef ensures that the team follows strict food safety and hygiene standards, including the 4Cs — cleaning, cooking, cross-contamination prevention and chilling.
Says Chef Akashdeep, “Desserts are prepared in small batches throughout the day and stored in airtight containers to maintain optimal texture and flavour. For items with fresh fruit or custard, we use refrigeration to preserve freshness, and we avoid keeping desserts out for extended periods.”
So, this mango season, don't forget to enjoy the epitome of sweetness and flavour at Novotel Goa Panjim.
