Desserts Made More Special with Mr. Hat Gulaman
May 26, 2019
Bunso has been dealing with Mild Autism Spectrum Disorder for the last four years. Having habits that linger or recurrent is part of his condition. We have already accepted that. What Paps and I hope and pray is that he may continue to improve as he enjoys his life every day.
As days pass, we discover little by little his love for cooking. I know that it is an answered prayer. Paps and I would always say when we converse about Bunso, "We hope that he continues to be functional. We hope that one day, he can discover the passion that he wants to focus on, something that he can do for a living. So that when the day comes that we are no longer here in this world, he will not be a burden to his brother and he will live independently and happily."
Cooking particularly making desserts is what Bunso likes to do best. He feels giddy whenever we give him a chance to watch his favorite YouTuber, Kusina Chef. He would imitate her as she talks while imagining himself making desserts on his own. He would tell us that he is going to crack and beat the eggs, mix the ingredients, or assemble them all by himself whenever Paps or I cook.
So when the Mr. Hat Gulaman gift pack arrived right on our doorstep, he was really very excited probably because he saw this particular brand in Kusina Chef's YouTube channel and he couldn't wait to use them himself!
He couldn't contain himself when I told him that he would be making his own desserts using Mr. Hat Gulaman. He was so excited doing all the processes--- from buying ingredients up to the taste test with a little assistance from me, of course, especially in the steps where using sharp objects were required. I asked him what desserts he would like to prepare. He told me that he would love to do Mango Float and Strawberry Ice Cream. I requested him to prepare Peach-Mango Float.
Here are the recipes.
Ingredients:
1 can Condensed milk (300 ml)
1 can Condensed milk (300 ml)
2 packs of 250ml all-purpose cream
2 packs of 220 grams Graham Crackers 4 pieces sweet mangoes, sliced

The video below served his inspiration in creating his very own Mango Float:
For the Peach-Mango Float, we followed the same recipe and procedure but we lacked mangoes so the Mr. Hat Gulaman Mango Jelly Powder served as a substitute for them. We used canned sliced peaches.

We used Kusina Chef's Oreo Ice Cream Recipe as an inspiration for this.

Instead of crushed Oreos, we used one pack of SM Bonus Frozen Strawberry. Before making it into a puree, I boiled it first in a cup of water and added one pack of Mr. Hat Gulaman Strawberry Jelly Powder. We omitted the vanilla and added extra tablespoons of condensed milk to lessen the sourness of the strawberry.
It was obvious that Bunso had fun creating his own desserts using Mr. Hat Gulaman Jelly Powder as much as he loved eating them.
What we like about Mr. Hat Gulaman Jelly Powder especially the flavored ones is that they taste like real fruits which is advantageous because they can enhance the good flavor of any dessert that we make. The brand is also available in leading supermarkets, malls, groceries, and sari-sari stores nationwide in a very affordable price kaya madali siyang mabili kahit kailan mo siya kailangan.
We still have more Mr. Hat Gulaman here at home and we would like to share one (1) gift pack with 50 assorted variants to one (1) lucky AAPM Reader. All you have to do is to follow these easy steps.
