Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a more intense mango flavor, use very ripe Alphonso mangoes or blend in some mango puree along with the diced mango.
- If you don’t have Alphonso mangoes, feel free to substitute with other ripe mangoes. The flavor will be slightly different, but still delicious.
- To make this dessert even more visually appealing, use clear glasses or small dessert cups. The layered effect will be more prominent.
- For an extra special touch, add a drizzle of melted white chocolate or a few fresh mint leaves before serving.
