Pro Tips
- Use ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness and aroma. A ripe mango will yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a fragrant smell near the stem.
- For smoothies or popsicles, use frozen mango chunks. This eliminates the need for ice, resulting in a richer flavor and thicker texture.
- When incorporating coconut yogurt into savory dishes, opt for unsweetened varieties to control the overall flavor profile. A squeeze of lime or lemon can enhance its tang.
- If your coconut yogurt is very thick, thin it with a touch of coconut milk or water for dressings or smoother purees.
