I’ve been craving something sweet lately, but I also didn’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. So, I decided to whip up this super easy and quick mango dessert that I’ve made a couple of times before. It’s seriously a lifesaver when you need a quick sugar fix.
First, I grabbed a couple of ripe mangoes from the fridge. You know, the ones that are slightly soft to the touch and smell amazing. I washed them thoroughly under running water, just to be sure they were clean. I was using this knife that I bought a while ago, so I used it to peel them. Then, I sliced them up into small, bite-sized pieces. I tried to make them somewhat uniform, but honestly, it doesn’t really matter that much.
Next, I opened a can of coconut milk. I made sure to shake it well before opening because sometimes the cream and water separate. I poured about half of the can into a bowl. I love coconut milk, so I might have added a bit more than necessary, but that’s okay. It turned out fine. I added a couple of spoonfuls of sugar into the coconut milk, stirred it until it was dissolved. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking. I like mine just sweet enough to balance the natural sweetness of the mangoes.
After that, I dumped the sliced mangoes into the bowl with the sweetened coconut milk, gave everything a gentle toss to make sure the mangoes were evenly coated. I then covered the bowl with plastic wrap and popped it into the fridge for about 30 minutes. This chilling time is crucial because it allows the flavors to meld together and the mangoes to soak up some of that delicious coconut milk.
Serving
- Finally, when I was ready to serve, I just scooped some of the chilled mango mixture into a small bowl or glass. It was as simple as that!
- Sometimes, if I’m feeling extra fancy, I might sprinkle a bit of toasted coconut flakes on top for added texture and flavor, but this time I just wanted to keep it simple and savor the pure mango-coconut goodness.
- Trust me, this easy, quick mango dessert is a game-changer when you need something sweet and satisfying without putting in too much effort.
And there you have it, a super easy and quick mango dessert that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without spending hours in the kitchen. Give it a try, and let me know what you think!
