Treat your ingredients with care...
- Mango — Choose a ripe mango for maximum sweetness and flavor. Peel the mango and slice it thinly for easy and even distribution on the pizza.
- Shredded coconut — Use unsweetened shredded coconut for a more authentic Burmese taste. If you prefer a stronger coconut flavor, lightly toast the coconut before adding it to the pizza.
- Pineapple chunks — Drain the pineapple chunks well to prevent the pizza from becoming too watery.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle some sweet chili sauce over the pizza before serving.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add some sliced red chili peppers to the toppings.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or goat cheese, for a unique twist.
- If you're a fan of seafood, add some cooked shrimp or crab meat to the pizza for a delicious seafood fusion.
- Serve the pizza with a side of spicy mango salsa for an extra tropical touch.
