Mango & Coconut Slice

A set-and-forget dessert that firms up overnight in the fridge. The base is rolled oats, desiccated coconut, honey and melted butter, pressed into a lined tin and baked briefly until golden, then cooled completely. Slices of ripe mango are arranged over the top and covered with a coconut milk mixture sweetened with caster sugar and set with gelatine. Left overnight, it firms into neat slices that cut cleanly. The flavour is mild and not overly sweet, which makes it feel light after a big meal, and the mango does most of the work.

Notes

Mild in flavour, not overly sweet. Rated 9/10.
Well let me tell you, the family loved it and so did all the people that scored the leftovers. I had comments like, healthy, non-fattening, light etc. etc (non-fattening is a bit of a stretch I think). Mangoes are of course always a winner for dessert. Another 9/10 score.
Until next week,
