Serving Suggestion: A perfect summer snack or dessert after grilling outdoors. When you want a light dessert that makes a statement, this is a go to recipe. Make ahead and refrigerate. Be creative and substitute your favorite fruits or what is available.
Terrific Tidbit: Go ahead and grate more orange rind than you’ll need for the recipe—you can grate a whole orange or lemon and freeze the rind until needed. Mangos may be found in jars or cans where the fruit is when not in season.
