This recipe combines the creamy texture of coconut-infused whipped cream with the bright, zesty notes of fresh mango and citrus.

Ingredients

  • The Cream Base: 2 cups of heavy whipping cream (chilled), 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp coconut extract.

  • The Fruit: 2 large ripe mangoes (one diced into cubes, one pureed), and 1 kiwi or golden orange for garnish.

  • The Crunch: 1/2 cup of honey-toasted granola or crushed macadamia nuts.

  • The Drizzle: 1/4 cup of passionfruit syrup or additional mango puree.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mango Coulis: Take one of your mangoes, remove the skin and pit, and blend the flesh until it is completely smooth. If you want a more refined “drizzle” effect as seen in the glass, strain this puree through a fine-mesh sieve.

  2. Whip the Cream: In a large chilled bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and coconut extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. The coconut extract gives it that “vacation” flavor that pairs beautifully with the fruit.

  3. Prepare the Toppings: Dice your second mango into small, uniform cubes. Slice your kiwi or orange into thin rounds for the iconic glass-side garnish.

  4. Assemble the Glass:

    • Take a tall parfait glass and tilt it slightly. Slowly pour a spoonful of mango coulis down the inside walls to create those beautiful vertical streaks.

    • Pipe or spoon the coconut whipped cream into the bottom half of the glass.

    • Add a thin layer of mango cubes and a sprinkle of granola for a hidden crunch.

  5. The Swirl Finish: Pipe the remaining cream in a tall, circular motion to create a soft-serve “swirl” effect at the top.

  6. Garnish: Artfully place the remaining mango cubes on the cream, sprinkle with more granola, and slide a slice of kiwi or orange into the side of the swirl.

Quick Tip

For the best visual results, make sure your whipped cream is very firm. If it’s too soft, the mango cubes will sink into the cream rather than sitting proudly on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of the airy cream and the juicy fruit!
