Sweets or not, something sweet is always needed and especially for the weekend. So today I want to inspire you with this one, without eggs, milk or wheat. In India it is said that the color yellow is health food for our chakra Solar Plexus (chakra = energy point). That is why many of the dishes are golden in color either because of the healthy turmeric or by using yellow ingredients such as chickpea flour , corn flour etc. This dessert is so golden and nice because of the lovely Mango puree , there is no added color or fix in Photoshop☺️
Please enjoy a delicious, quick, new vegan dessert.
If you want a sweeter taste, you can use 2 tablespoons of sugar. My mango puree is quite sweet to begin with, because we harvest a very sweet type called Kesar, it is the queen of the mango family.
