Mango dessert recipes
Sweet, ripe and juicy mangoes are the star turn in these delicious tropical dessert recipes. All the iconic mango puds are here: think luscious pavlovas, cheesecakes, mousse and sorbets. Mangoes also pop up in contemporary twists on other beloved desserts – try our easy mango mess (move over, strawberries) or crowdpleasing mango-misu, by food writer Ravinder. Bhogal.
Indian mango season hits in the springtime, and if you can seek out a prized box of Kesar or Alphonso mangoes, you are in for a treat! Otherwise many of these puds will work with frozen or canned mango chunks.
Make the most of the fragrant fruit, ever popular for its sweet and floral flavour, in one of these tried-and-tested mango dessert recipes. We have so many ideas, including a vegan pannacotta, crème brûlée and a showstopping layer cake…
