Ingredients
  

Frozen Dessert Base
  • 3 cups Frozen mango, chunks Use quality frozen mango; deep yellow pieces are ideal.
  • 1 cup Plain yogurt, whole milk yogurt preferred Greek yogurt adds thickness but can be tangier.
  • 1-2 tablespoons Honey or sugar Adjust to taste.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances the flavor.
  • 1 pinch Cardamom (optional) Adds a classic lassi feel.
  • 1 splash Milk or mango juice (optional) Use only if the blender needs assistance.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by adding yogurt to the blender.
  2. Add frozen mango on top of the yogurt.
  3. Pulse a few times to break up mango chunks before blending.
  4. If the mixture isn’t moving, stop, stir, and blend again.
  5. Add any liquid (milk or juice) a teaspoon at a time to avoid making it runny.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness and cardamom as desired.
Serving
  1. Serve in small bowls topped with crushed pistachios, toasted coconut, or diced mango.
  2. For a fancier touch, add a tiny pinch of cardamom on top.
  3. If making ahead, press parchment directly on the surface and freeze.
  4. Let it sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes before scooping.

Notes

This dessert works well for gatherings where guests can add their own toppings. It can also be made with fresh mango, but should be frozen prior for the best texture.
