Mango,Lime and Coconut Dessert

I love coming up with healthy dessert alternatives, and this one is so good and would also make a yummy breakfast! Mango, lime and coconut are such a good combination, it tastes so summery and tropical and feels like you're eating ice cream, but it so much lighter and packed with healthy ingredients. The agave nectar has a lower glycemic index than refined sugar, meaning it won't cause such of a spike in blood sugar levels, and I love using coconut oil as a healthier alternative for other oils, plus the coconut flavour compliments this dessert perfectly. Using frozen fruit gives the topping the ice cream like consistency, which makes this dessert feel so much more indulgent than it is!

Ingredients

(Makes 2)

Base

80g oats
15g dessicated coconut
2 tbsp coconut oil melted
2 tbsp agave nectar

Topping

160g frozen mango
100g Greek yogurt
3 tbsp lime juice
lime rind and dessicated coconut to decorate


Method

1. In a blender combine the oats, coconut, agave nectar and melted coconut oil. Blitz the ingredients until they combine to make a dough like consistency
2. Press the mixture into the bottom of two Mason jars, pressing it down firmly. Place the jars in the freezer and leave to chill for three hours or until you are ready to serve
3. Just before you are ready to serve, combine the mango, yogurt and lime juice in a blender and blitz to an ice cream like consistency
4. Top the bases with the mango mixture, decorate with the lime rind and a sprinkle of desiccated coconut and serve straight away
