LY's Kitchen Ventures: Mango Tofu Cheesecake and Cheese Tart

My darling girl turned 9 yesterday. As it's the mango season and she absolutely loves mangoes, I've decided to make her a Mango Tofu Cheese Tart to surprise her on her birthday.

She absolutely enjoyed the cheese tart and gave it her big thumbs up!!

To my girl, our wish for you remains as always - Daddy and mommy wish you a life that is always full of love, laughter, good health and good fortune. May your days be always filled with full of blessings and joy! Love you always, little one...

I also made a Mango Tofu Cheesecake for my dear brother who celebrates his birthday today. Happy Birthday, bro! May you be blessed with life's richest blessings everyday!
