Caramelized Mango Dessert: Fruity and Crunchy, Ready in 5 Minutes

The new lazy dessert with only 3 ingredients

And if we told you that with a simple ripe mango, sugar and cinnamon you could make one of the best desserts of your life? You don’t believe us? Yet this recipe is proof that you can do wonders with few ingredients and in less than 5 minutes… There’s really nothing simpler: you cut a mango, score it, and dip the cut side into a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Then you caramelize the sugar with a culinary torch until a crackling crust forms, and it’s ready! All that’s left is to crack through the caramel crust, like a crème brûlée, and enjoy. Of course, you can replace cinnamon with vanilla powder, for example.

We, however, prepared a small homemade chantilly (whipped cream) for extra indulgence, but it’s not mandatory. We could have served a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a touch of freshness! This fruity dessert is super easy and quick to prepare; it is totally addictive, you will see! So, are you giving in with us? We await your creations in the comments 😋
