This is a great low-calorie dessert to satisfy your mango cravings this summer. Creamy mango sorbet is the best way to beat the heat. Combining the flavours of sweet mangoes and tart lime, you will only need three ingredients for this mango dessert- mango, lime and sugar. If you want to store your sorbet to eat it later, here’s a pro tip from the recipe. Add some alcohol to the sorbet so it doesn’t become too frosty.

Mango trifle

Moist cake, sweet mangoes, chocolate whipped cream, and crisp macadamia nut! What’s not to like about this recipe since it is one of the most delicious mango desserts out there! Take one bite of this, and you will be transported to a world of mango goodness! You can either use store-bought cake or bake yourself one. As long as you are piling up the cake with layers of mango and fluffy chocolate whipped cream, you are good! Top it off with some chopped macadamia nuts to add some crunch to this dessert.

Classic mango mochi

This is a tangy, sweet and refreshing mango dessert that is easy to make and scores high in the taste department. Mochi is a classic Japanese dessert made with glutinous rice flour. For this, you first need to cover the mango filling in a chewy mochi cake, then roll them into mango mochi balls, and cover in shredded coconut, and your summer dessert is ready!

Mango and Coconut panna cotta

Cheesecakes are an all-season favourite. Adding some mangoes to this already perfect dessert will only shoot its goodness up several notches. This cheesecake is a mix of decadent mango and cream cheese filling and a buttery crust loaded with lots of mangoes. What makes this mango dessert even better is that it’s a no-bake cheesecake.

Mango ice cream

The good ol’ classic that you can never go wrong with. Of course, you have had store-bought mango ice creams all your life, but the joy of making something so good and so easy at home is unmatched. The best part? You don’t need to have an ice cream maker for this. All you need are mangoes, condensed milk and cream for this quick, easy but delicious ice cream! Mango desserts don’t get better and easier than this.

Mango icebox cake

You can make this Filipino dessert at home, which is not only mouth-wateringly delicious but equally easy to make. You need graham crackers, whipped cream, sweetened condensed milk and fresh mangoes for this spin on the classic Filipino dessert Crema de Fruta. Assemble the layers and refrigerate them overnight.
