Treat your ingredients with care...

• Mango — Choose ripe mangoes for the best flavor and texture. Make sure to remove the pit and peel before pureeing.
• Yogurt — Opt for plain yogurt without added sugars or flavors for a clean and tangy taste.
• Buttermilk — If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
• Lime juice — Freshly squeezed lime juice provides the best flavor. Adjust the amount according to your taste preference.
• Honey — Use a good quality honey to enhance the sweetness of the dish.

Tips & Tricks

• For a creamier texture, strain the mango puree before adding it to the yogurt mixture.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your preference.
• Serve the Mango Koldskål with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
• Experiment with different fruit variations such as pineapple or passion fruit for a unique twist.
• If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of buttermilk or add a little cornstarch to the mixture.
