Tropical Dessert (Ww)

"I thought this was a great low-fat dessert idea for a grilled seafood meal. If following the WW flex plan this is 4 points/serving - but could probably be 1 point less if using light ice cream. Recipe source: WW Sizzle It."

Yummy and oh so tropical....with flavors that really pop in your mouth. Made this for dessert and enjoyed it very much. I will have to remember this when I am having a theme dinner that features some tropical fish tacos or such and finish it off with this. Thanks for sharing this one with us! Made for ZWT 5 Caribbean Dessert Challenge for the Genies of Gourmet!

We loved this. I did use raspberry sorbet instead of the mango. Otherwise made as posted. I was surprised with how good the cilantro went with this recipe. Normally I don't use it in a dessert. This has a nice overall flavor a touch of sour with the sweet. Thanks for posting.
