Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 ml) coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and diced (about 2 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • Toasted coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare mango: Peel, pit, and dice the ripe mangoes. Toss diced mango with lime juice in a bowl.
  2. Make coconut cream mixture: In a medium saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Heat over medium heat, whisking continuously until it thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Assemble the dessert: In serving glasses or bowls, layer the bottom with a generous amount of the mango mixture. Pour the coconut cream mixture over the mango layer.
  4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld and set.
  5. Garnish and serve: Top with fresh mint leaves and toasted coconut flakes before serving.
