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.
