Mango Coconut Dessert is a quick, healthy, vegan and tasty dessert. This is an ideal dessert when the best variety of mangoes is in season. Sweetness is slightly adjusted by adding honey. The Sabja seeds – also known as Tukmaria seeds, Falooda, Sweet Basil seeds; help in digestion, are rich in antioxidants, control diabetes and have immunity boosting properties. This dessert can be made with Sabja or Chia seeds. Though Sabja seeds are roughly the same size as Chia seeds, but they are quite different. This dessert can be prepared in layers for a creative visual appeal. The best way to have Mango Coconut Dessert is to chill it for a few hours and then enjoy. So go ahead and try!
