Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized ripe mangoes
- 1.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 4 sprigs mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the pit. Dice the mango flesh into small chunks.
Step 2
Place about 2/3 of the mango chunks into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set the remaining mango chunks aside for later use.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, heavy cream, honey, lemon juice, and ground cardamom. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Gently fold the mango puree into the yogurt mixture until swirled together but not completely uniform, creating a marbled effect.
Step 5
Divide the mixture into serving glasses or bowls. Top each serving with some of the reserved mango chunks.
Step 6
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.
Step 7
Before serving, optionally garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for added color and aroma.
