About Mango Coconut Fantasy
Mango Coconut Fantasy is a delightful tropical dessert that combines the luscious flavor of mango with the creamy richness of coconut milk. It is inspired by traditional Southeast Asian desserts that often feature tropical fruits mixed with coconut. This refreshing treat is perfect for warm weather and can be enjoyed as a snack or a light dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 1 cup of coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons gelatin
- 1/2 cup water
- Juice of 1 lime
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Preparation
Begin by peeling and slicing the mangoes. Set aside half for garnishing and chop the other half into small cubes. Extract the juice from the lime and keep it aside.
Cooking Process
Step 1: Preparing the Mango Puree
In a blender, add the cubed mangoes and lime juice. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water to adjust the consistency. Set it aside.
Step 2: Preparing the Gelatin
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup of water. Allow it to bloom for about 5 minutes. Then, gently heat it on low, stirring constantly until it completely dissolves.
Step 3: Making the Coconut Mixture
In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk with 1/4 cup of sugar. Heat the mixture on medium until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4: Mixing the Ingredients
Once the coconut milk mixture has cooled, stir in the dissolved gelatin and the mango puree. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are smoothly combined.
Step 5: Setting the Dessert
Pour the mixture into serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set. Use a cooking timer to keep track of the time.
How to Enjoy Mango Coconut Fantasy
Once set, top the Mango Coconut Fantasy with the remaining mango slices and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
