The flavor is entirely dependent on the flavor of the mangoes so as the recipe says ripe, sweet mangoes are key. I found it too be less stiff/mousse like than I would have liked, more like a thick sauce. Still with the right mangoes it's a nice light dessert.

What a great light and refreshing mango dessert! This was yummy all by itself, but I'm guessing that it would be wonderful as part of a trifle as well. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2011
