Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Tropical
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and prepare the ripe mangoes by peeling and cutting them into small, uniform dice. Ensure the mangoes are ripe and sweet for the best flavor.
- In a blender, combine the diced mangoes, coconut milk, honey (or agave syrup), and fresh lime juice. The lime juice will add brightness and help prevent browning of the fruit.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container or individual serving dishes. Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Place the container in the freezer for about 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is semi-frozen but still soft and scoopable.
- Before serving, let the frozen dessert sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes to soften slightly.
- Scoop the frozen coconut mango dessert into serving bowls and garnish generously with shredded coconut for added texture and tropical flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, dairy-free tropical dessert.
Tips
- Mango Matters: Choose fully ripe, fragrant mangoes for the most intense flavor. Look for fruits that yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a sweet, rich aroma.
- Blending Perfection: For the smoothest texture, blend ingredients thoroughly and scrape down the blender sides to ensure no chunks remain.
- Freezing Hack: Use a shallow, wide container to help the dessert freeze more evenly and make scooping easier.
- Texture Tip: The 2-3 hour freezing time creates a perfect semi-frozen consistency. If it freezes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish Game: Toast the shredded coconut lightly for an extra layer of flavor and crunch that will elevate your dessert from good to absolutely amazing!
- Dietary Bonus: This recipe is naturally dairy-free and can be easily made vegan by using agave syrup instead of honey.
