Ingredients

• 2 ripe mangoes
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, gently toss the toasted shredded coconut with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, ensuring even coating.
3. Begin assembling your dessert by placing a layer of ladyfingers at the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish, slightly overlapping them for a seamless finish.
4. Spoon half of the flavored milk mixture over the layer of ladyfingers and spread it evenly with an offset spatula.
5. Arrange another layer of ladyfingers on top of the milk mixture, pressing down gently to ensure they adhere.
6. Sprinkle half of the sugared coconut over the second layer of ladyfingers.
7. Repeat steps 3 6 with remaining ingredients, finishing with a sprinkling of the last of the sugared coconut.
8. Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Chef’s Insight

Allow the ladyfingers to slightly soften in the milk mixture for a more delightful texture.

Notes

Chill the condensed milk mixture while preparing other layers.
