Tropical Mango Shrikhand With a Thick Creamy Texture

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes (plus chilling time)

Mango shrikhand is the same hung yogurt but with ripe mango folded in, the one that turns gold. I use mango that is actually ripe so the color and taste are real, not from a bottle.

The recipe is straightforward, requiring simply mango, yogurt, and a few flavor enhancers. It’s a quick way to create a luxurious dessert that highlights the wonderful flavor of ripe mangoes.
