Reconstitute some (a pkt) dried mangoes in a pot with a little water. When soft, drain and liquidise. Make some plain (or greek) yoghurt (Easiyo works well, and is of course easy) Stir in a bit of honey to sweeten the yoghurt to taste. Gently mix/swirl in the mango
Serve and enjoy

That does sound lovely. I always thought it was more of a drink than a dessert though. I often have it at Indian restaurants. Does it qualify as high-fat?

That does sound great illusion, thank you for sharing. Would be really nice on a hot summer's evening. I will try with fresh mango and thick Greek yogurt - would be sweet enough for our taste on its own. Fresh mint might give it a nice zing too. Cheers.

cant see why not. just drain off the syrup. let us know.
only reason(s) I used dried was cos I have a supply of them, and cos Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall had an installment on dried fruit the other night. Gave me the inspiration to recreate what I had one night at the Indian

Depends how thick it is I guess as to whether it's a drink or a dessert. Kinda hard to slurp down something that doesnt want to pour out of a glass ;)
As for the "high fat" question. No fat in mangoes . and I dont remember seeing a "high fat" yoghurt

I very seldom 'do' desserts, but it sure sounds like a yummy brunch/breakfast. I have a couple of cans of Mangoes in my pantry & always have yoghurt on hand . will let you know.

It's yummy with a dash of cardamom in it too!

The yummy Greek yogurt I plan on using could never be sipped from a glass. Will be a dessert for sure.

I've just scoffed a plate full & it was wonderful. I added a pinch of cardamon, . the tinned mangoes were OK. I think the dried type would have more intensity of flavour . but i just loved it, anyway & I feel too full!

Could you do it with fresh mango? I only ask 'cos' I have half of one in the fridge at the moment!
