It's summertime, the living is easy, and mango dessert recipes are calling our name as we try anything to keep cool.
If you're with us, read on -- we have the easiest vegan summer dessert recipes using our Mango Coconut Crunch bars and fresh mangoes, so whether you're feeling like getting a little crafty in the kitchen or definitely not even turning on the oven, we've got you covered.
Why Mango Desserts are So Perfect for Summer
Summertime: for us that means, time by the water, lazy afternoons in the sun, and fresh fruit that hydrates and keeps us feeling cool and tropical. Which is why there's nothing that hits like a cool mango dessert as the temps rise.
Many hot-weather climates and cultures traditionally feature mango as a dessert ingredient. India is the world's #1 producer of mangos, and they're often grown and used heavily in Mexico, Brazil, Eduador, Peru, and Guatemala. They're ubiquitous with summertime and also packed with good-for-you nutrients and minerals like vitamin C, A, B5, iron, and more.
Plus, have you ever laid in the sun eating cool, fresh, juicy mango? There's just nothing better than a mango dessert - or mango all on its own - in the warm months.
If fresh mango season is winding down where you are - frozen works just as well in some of these recipes. Frozen mango is not only easier to find, cook with, and use, since we all have staying cool on the top of our priority list, it just makes sense.
Our Favorite Easy Vegan Mango Desserts to Make this Summer
Convinced and craving the flavor of fresh mango yet? Same.
Here are some of our favorite easy mango dessert recipes you'll want to keep on repeat all summer long. Several feature our Mango Coconut Crunch SorBabes bars and are so easy, it's a stretch to call them a dessert recipe at all, they whip up so quick.
A couple are a little more involved for when you don't mind getting in the kitchen and/or cranking up the oven (will be worth it, we promise!)
