Along with Zooper Doopers and days spent lounging around the pool, mangoes are easily one of the best things about summer.

Along with Zooper Doopers and days spent lounging around the pool, mangoes are easily one of the best things about summer. There’s something about biting into their tarty yellowness that sends your insides into beachside party mode, even if your outsides are still at work.

This dessert from Tales of a Kitche n combines the concept of “cake” with the ingredients of a tasty mango smoothie, flavours it with some matcha tea, then whacks some fresh mint on top and calls it a day. Once set in the fridge and chilled, you’ll want to take yourself and your cake immediately to the nearest tropical island. Which is the best place to indulge in some fruity nibbles, we’d say.
