Introduction to a Tropical Delight

Coconut Dessert with Sweet Mango Purée and Mango Cubes

Introduction:

This tropical coconut dessert with sweet mango purée and fresh mango cubes is the perfect refreshing treat for warm weather or any occasion where you crave something light, fruity, and indulgent. The combination of smooth, creamy coconut with the bright, vibrant flavor of ripe mango offers a balance of textures and tastes that are both satisfying and refreshing. The coconut provides a creamy base, while the sweet mango purée and fresh mango cubes bring natural sweetness, tang, and a burst of tropical flavor.

Ingredients:

1 can (400ml) coconut milk (full-fat)

1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)

2 teaspoons agar-agar powder (or gelatin for a non-vegan option)

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

1/2 cup mango purée (fresh or store-bought)

1 tablespoon lime juice (optional, for a touch of brightness)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Make the Coconut Base:

In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut milk over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir until fully dissolved. Sprinkle in the agar-agar powder and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently. Allow it to simmer for about 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat. Let the coconut mixture cool slightly before pouring it into serving glasses or bowls.

Prepare Mango Purée:

Blend the mango chunks and lime juice (if using) in a blender until smooth to make a purée. Set aside.

Assemble the Dessert:

Pour the coconut mixture into your serving glasses or bowls, leaving some space at the top for the mango purée. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until set.

Top with Mango:

Once the coconut layer has set, spoon a layer of mango purée on top of each coconut portion. Add the fresh mango cubes as a topping.

Garnish and Serve:

Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves for added color and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing, tropical dessert
