Ingredients

Method
  • 100 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 6 slices fruit bread, crumbled
  • 100 g raw pistachios, shelled and finely chopped
  • 3 T brown sugar
  • 4 ripe mangoes
  • Greek yoghurt, for serving

Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate, fruit bread, half the pistachio and the brown sugar. Scatter over a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes.

Slice fat cheeks from each of the mangoes, then cut a crisscross pattern into the flesh and push the skin outwards so that the pulp "pops" out.

Serve with a good dollop of yoghurt and scatter with the baked chocolate crunch and remaining pistachio.

Cook’s note: Chopped almonds or hazelnuts will add further decadence to this meal.

TASTE’s take:

A symbol of life and eternal bliss, the mango has moved from its third-world background to its rightful place as the world’s most luscious of fruits, with a versatile, exotic taste that holds its own in a variety of recipes. A moreish way to serve mango, this dish makes for a decadent breakfast treat.
