Notes
- Use ripe mango and very ripe banana.
- You can use only mangoes or only bananas for the dessert.
- You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar to taste.
- Buy good quality canned coconut milk. Ideally, it should only consist of coconut and water, with the coconut content being as high as possible. I used organic coconut milk with 60% coconut.
- If you keep your coconut milk in a cool place, warm the can slightly first and shake it so that the coconut water and the settled layer of coconut cream combine.
