Description
This tropical dessert features a smooth, rich coconut cream base infused with the vibrant sweetness of ripe mango. It is generously studded with tender, juicy pineapple chunks and finished with a delicate scattering of shredded coconut, offering a delightful contrast in texture and a refreshing, balanced flavor profile. The dish is prepared by chilling, allowing the flavors to meld and the cream to set beautifully.
Ingredients
- * 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut cream, chilled overnight
- * 1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
- * 1 cup fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and diced
- * 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or to taste)
- * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- * 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, for garnish
- * Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Carefully open the chilled can of coconut cream without shaking. Scoop out the thick cream from the top, leaving the liquid behind. Place the thick cream into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the coconut cream. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold in the diced mango and pineapple into the whipped coconut cream until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the mixture into individual serving dishes or a single large serving bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.
- Before serving, sprinkle generously with shredded unsweetened coconut.
Notes
* For the best texture, ensure your full-fat coconut cream is well-chilled overnight. This helps separate the thick cream from the liquid.
* Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of your fruit.
* Fresh fruit is recommended for optimal flavor and texture, but well-drained canned pineapple can be used in a pinch.
* This dessert can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
* Toasted shredded coconut can add an extra layer of nutty flavor and crunch.
