Mango Purée with Mixed Berries & Cointreau
Pinterest Hidden ImagePinterest Hidden Image

Besides its nice warm weather, I love summer time for many reasons; taking care of my garden, golfing 🏌️‍♀️, cycling, wearing my open-toed sandals (do you really think I wouldn’t mention my sandals, lol!), barbecuing, and enjoying the outdoors.
 
Warm weather is one thing but when it gets “crazy” hot, not so much!!! As a mature woman, I have my own internal temperature 🥵. Any additional heat and I can’t stand to be in my own skin. Another thing I can’t stand when it’s very hot outside is spending too much time preparing meals. I have many recipes that don’t take much time and they’re great when the thermometer rises beyond the comfort zone. Here’s one of them…. Mango Purée with Mixed Berries & Cointreau!
 
It’s one of my summer favorites! The lovely flavor from the mango gives this healthy 💚 dessert such an amazing taste! Combined with vanilla yogurt along with a mouthwatering mixture of raspberries and blackberries, it makes this dessert so delicious!
 
To give a little extra flavor, I add some Cointreau liqueur to the macerated fruit mixture. It brings a “je ne sais quoi” to the dish. I use this liqueur as well for my Fruit Salad syrup. This ingredient can definitely be removed if this yummy dessert will be served to children 👧👱‍♂️.

It’s such a beautiful recipe to serve during hot summer days! Light, fruity and deliciously refreshing, this is the perfect little dessert that everyone will enjoy! The extra bonus of this Mango Purée with Mixed Berries & Cointreau is it doesn’t take a whole lot of time ⏳ to put together. Although I’ve been referring to this recipe as a dessert, you can also serve it as part of a weekend brunch…
Bon Appétit!🍽
