Ingredients

  • Fresh ripe mangoes – sweet juicy, and doing most of the heavy lifting
  • Plain or vanilla yogurt – thick yogurt works best Greek-style if possible
  • Honey or maple syrup – optional depending on how sweet your mangoes are
  • Crushed biscuits or granola – for that little crunch moment
  • Chia seeds – optional but they make you feel very responsible
  • Cardamom or cinnamon a pinch – totally optional, but lovely
  • Chopped nuts – almonds or pistachios work great if you like texture

Instructions

  • Prep the mango.
  • Peel the mangoes, chop them into chunks, and blend until smooth. If you like a bit of texture, leave it slightly chunky. Smooth or rustic — your call.
  • Taste and adjust.
  • Give the mango purée a quick taste. If it’s sweet enough, amazing. If not, add a little honey or maple syrup and blend again. Don’t overthink it.
  • Get the yogurt ready.
  • Spoon the yogurt into a bowl and stir until smooth. If you want it sweeter, add a drizzle of honey. Add a tiny pinch of cardamom or cinnamon if you’re feeling fancy.
  • Start layering.
  • Grab your serving cups or jars. Start with a layer of crushed biscuits or granola at the bottom. This is the “surprise crunch” layer.
  • Add yogurt.
  • Spoon in a generous layer of yogurt. Smooth it out a bit, but don’t stress about perfection.
  • Mango time.
  • Add a thick layer of mango purée on top of the yogurt. This is where things start looking very Instagram-worthy.
  • Repeat if you want.
  • If your cups are tall, repeat the layers. If not, stop here and call it art.
  • Finish strong.
  • Top with chopped nuts, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a few mango cubes. Chill for at least 30 minutes if you can wait (big if).
