Substitutions and Variations

Use frozen mango: Blend thawed frozen mango with a splash of water if fresh isn’t available.
Try flavored yogurt: Use vanilla Greek yogurt for extra sweetness. You can also use regular yogurt, not Greek, but the dessert will come out thinner and less creamy.
Add texture: Top with chopped nuts, coconut flakes or granola for some crunch.

Serving Suggestions

For dessert: This mango yogurt recipe is delicious after any kind of main dish from chicken sorrentino to smoked rack of lamb with one of these air fryer side dishes.

How to Store Mango Yogurt Desserts

Store: Keep this mango yogurt mousse refrigerated until serving. I like to make it at least a couple of hours ahead so it’s well-chilled when it’s time to serve. It will keep for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Freeze: You can freeze it for up to 2 months in an airtight container and that won’t affect the nutrients in there. However, expect it to separate a little bit when thawed out. Because this Greek yogurt fruit pudding dessert is so easy to make, I prefer to make it fresh each time. It really only takes a few minutes to prepare.
Thaw: Defrost in the fridge overnight or on the counter for an hour or so.

Blend in stages: If using frozen fruit, blend it first with water before adding other ingredients.
Chill before serving: Refrigeration enhances both flavor and texture.

Yogurt Mango Dessert FAQs

Is this a nutritious dessert option?

Yes! Mango isn’t only sweet and delicious but it’s also nutritious. This fruit is low in calories but rich in fiber. There is plenty of Vitamins A and C in every bite, along with calcium, zinc, Vitamin E, folate, and Vitamin B6 in smaller amounts. Mangoes are rich in antioxidants and just 3 ounces of this fruit gives you one of your five-a-day. The yogurt offers calcium, B vitamins, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. It’s a protein-rich food which is satisfying and it’s also believed beneficial for heart health.

Do I need to add sweetener?

Not unless your mangoes are very tart. The natural fruit should be sweet enough.
