Mango, Rum & Yogurt Dessert

Written by Published on Updated on May 28, 2019 in Uncategorized

Your probably thinking to yourselves right about now, OMG Sophie another Mango recipe!! ufff hehehehe.  I know, I know but I still have a few more Mangos to get through and well,  why not share with you another wonderful recipe that has Mango in it.  This one is so yummy because it has yogurt, honey and rum & blueberry topping. 🙂 Have I gotten your attention yet with this one?  I hope so 🙂 

I have a really close friend who just the other day told me that she doesn’t like Mangos :(.  It was so funny because I had just posted the Mango Smoothie and I was on the phone with her when she saw my post and right away voiced in a really hilarious way “I don’t like Mangos SORRYYY”.  hehehe  I was quite surprised because I have known her for more than 10 yrs. and this I think is the only topic we have never discussed…Tropical Fruit. 🙂 

I am sure that there are more people out there who do not care for this fruit, just like I don’t care for bananas..:) I think, no I know when I stopped eating bananas, I was very young and heading into the kitchen when I saw my mom who was about to feed my baby brother at the time take a banana and mush it all up (just remembering the site makes my face all cringy) and started to feed him.  I’m not exactly sure what happened it could have been the smell of the banana or the site hmm. but that was the last time I ate one. 🙂  Till this day if I see someone eating a banana I walk the other way or go into another room..yep that’s what I do. 🙂

Anyway,  I hope you enjoy this dessert as much I do.  😉

MANGO, RUM & YOGURT DESSERT

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Mangos sliced
  • 3 cups Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Lime Zest or Lemon Zest
  • 1/2 cup Blueberries
  • 1/4 cup of Mango cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon Rum
  • 1 small plastic bag for yogurt mix

Instructions
 

  • When you start to cut the Mango just set a side a piece that has been cubed so that you can use for your topping. Place cut pieces of Mango into a blender.
  • Blend Mangos for a few minutes and then set aside.
  • In a bowl add the yogurt.
  • Along with the honey.
  • Mix ingredients until nicely blended.
  • Continue by adding the vanilla extract.
  • Use a small grater if you have one for zest.
  • Add zest into yogurt mix.
  • Here is a really nice trick to help you add the yogurt mix or whipping cream into the bag. Take a large glass add in the plastic bag and just fold the open part of the bag around the around the lid of the glass. This way you don’t have to hold the bag 🙂
  • In a smaller bowl add in the chopped mango, blueberries and rum. Place in the fridge for about 1/2 hr.
  • Take a glass and start by adding a large spoonful of mango into the glass, then a layer of yogurt mix, continue with another spoonful of mango until all mixtures are done. Top off by adding the rum mix. 🙂 Place in fridge for 1 hr to chill.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    These look great! And, for the record, I like both bananas and mangos!! But, I detest all things melon. Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew..yuck 🤢
