Notes
Use Alphonso, Ataulfo, or Kent mangoes for the sweetest flavor.
Substitute coconut cream for a dairy-free variation.
Add a pinch of cardamom, cinnamon, or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Layer with crushed cookies, granola, or fresh berries for an elegant presentation.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Do not freeze, as the texture may become grainy after thawing.
Serve chilled; reheating is not recommended.
