Ingredients

  • FOR MANGO BASE:
  • 2 large mangoes around 500 gm (I used Badami mangoes)
  • 1 squeeze of lime juice
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • FOR CREAM BASE:
  • 200 ml pack whipping cream
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup thick yogurt

Instructions

  • Peel the mangoes. Keep a small peice for topping and chop the rest into large dices.
  • Add the lime juice and sugar and blitz into a smooth paste.
  • Chill till use.
  • In a cold bowl, whip the cream with the sugar till stiff.
  • Add the thick yogurt and beat for a minute, just until folded.
  • Keep 6 glasses ready for layering. Put a spponful of the mango mixture at the base.
  • Top with the cream mixture divided equally into the glasses, just leaving a little to put on the top.
  • Finish off with the mango pulp, and top with the cream if any remaining.
  • Let it rest in the fridge for a couple of hours for the flavors to settle.
  • While serving, chop the reserved mango into small cubes and divide into each of the cups. Decorate with a mint leaf.

Notes

I was tempted to flavor the mango with cardamom and the cream with vanilla, but I refrained from it, just to get the full flavor of the mangoes and the yogurt to shine through. You can add flavorings as you wish!
