Summertime Sweetness: Mango Basil White Chocolate Delight

Summertime Sweetness: Mango Basil White Chocolate Delight

July 9, 2025 Written by Olivia

Today, I’m excited to share a unique dessert recipe that is perfect for celebrating the summer season and satisfying your sweet tooth. This dish combines a classic fruit with an unexpected twist to create a truly delicious treat.

To begin, gather the following ingredients:
– 250g of ripe mango, diced
– 100g of fresh basil leaves
– 150g of white chocolate
– 50g of pistachios, chopped
– 200ml of coconut milk
– 1 tablespoon of honey

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • saucepan
  • whisk
  • ramekins

Begin by heating the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the basil leaves and allow them to infuse the milk with their flavor for about 5 minutes. Once infused, strain out the basil leaves and return the milk to the saucepan.

Next, add the diced mango to the coconut milk and cook until the mango is soft. Using a whisk, stir in the white chocolate until it is fully melted and the mixture is well combined. Stir in the honey and remove the mixture from heat.

Divide the mixture among ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. Once set, top each ramekin with chopped pistachios for a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g and has an estimated calorie count of 350 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the finished dish to enhance the flavors and add a savory element to the sweet dessert.

I hope you enjoy making and indulging in this unique mango and basil white chocolate dessert! Feel free to experiment with different toppings or herbs to make it your own. Happy baking!
