It is Mango season in Australia and this has been one of my old favourites. I got hooked on this dessert at Chinese restaurants and a couple of years ago I decided to make my own.I went searching on the internet for a recipe and there were plenty. Some had mango ice cream and others egg and condensed milk, so I resorted to selecting different ingredients from various recipes and started experimenting until I settled on this one. It is so light and full of mango flavour, just the right consistency for my taste buds.
