Recipe Notes
Alphonso mangoes are best for making desserts, try to make this or any dessert with Alphonso mangoes only.
Additional Tips
- For a layered effect, pour each flavored gelatin mixture into your serving dish one at a time, allowing each layer to set in the fridge before adding the next. This creates a striking visual presentation and distinct flavor separation.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute agar-agar powder for gelatin. Use approximately 1 teaspoon of agar-agar for every cup of liquid, and simmer it with the coconut milk or fruit juices to ensure proper setting.
- Lightly toast the pistachios before sprinkling on top for an extra crunch and enhanced nutty aroma that pairs beautifully with the tropical flavors.
- For an added burst of freshness, fold in small cubes of fresh pineapple or mango into the gelatin just before it starts to set, ensuring they are well-drained to prevent excess moisture from affecting the texture.
