   Ok this my version of Famous Strawberry Shortcake, Instead of strawberry I used mango  which its very plenty here in  my place (Philippines).This dessert is another temptation and you gonna love this ,because of this delicious sauce , this makes your shortcake, looking beautiful, better taste , that you will ask for more.  I love to experiment mixture , and if its not good I tossed it away when nobody is looking ,at me , OMG...... and if my mother is around in the kitchen,absolutely she will take over and \she will say, don't trow that away  I ll make something else for it, your wasting the food which is I can't concentrate , but i love her when she's around and the kitchen its our busy bonding moment.
Anyway this shortcake is very easy to handle to make , you just bake the biscuits which is it will only take a minute to make . Plus making the sauce is also easier , you just gonna need blender then  boom....this sauce will add extra twist with this delightful dessert. Ingredients are very easy to find , no especial thing , just buy a good quality of mango and I used my favorite Bourbon whisky which I added to my sauce , and if its not available then you can use , rum, brandy ,that will works too.
You can also serve this at afternoon tea, and also I recommend to pair  it with  black coffee.
