Fijian Mango with Coconut Cream

When mango season arrives in Fiji, the trees bend low with fruit and no table is without them. Serving mango with coconut cream is one of the simplest and most beloved island ways to enjoy the harvest, whether as a light starter, a snack, or a casual dessert.

What makes it great: the velvety coconut cream softens the mango’s bright acidity while a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime sharpen every flavor. It takes five minutes to make and tastes like the tropics themselves.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Whisk the coconut cream, sugar, salt, lime juice, and vanilla together until smooth; taste and adjust the sweetness.
  2. Arrange the mango slices on a platter.
  3. Drizzle the coconut cream mixture generously over the mango.
  4. Chill for 15 minutes, then serve cold, garnished with extra lime zest if desired.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Use ripe but firm mangoes so the slices hold their shape. This also makes a lovely light dessert after a heavy curry meal.
