So you want something sweet? Mr Kidgredients has been gone for two weeks for work…so I got groceries delivered the other night. And in those groceries…I got not one but two trays of KP Mangoes! So I’ve whipped up this tropical mango and passionfruit treat slice to welcome him home.
This isn’t healthy. It’s healthier than eating sugar out of the packet. But it’s a treat, you know, a sometimes food. Shoot me down, but it’s so very yummy! It makes at least 20 portions, or halve them again if there are kids around.
I have never bought sweetened condensed milk before. I actually bought it to try my hand at making dulce de leche. Not that making that would be any healthier than this! I’ve only added 3 tbsps of maple syrup to the base…but the top is very, very sweet.
I’m trying really hard to feel bad about it, but seriously, every now and then, this mama needs a straight up treat. And this one ticks all the boxes. If a fruity treat is for you, then this is simply delicious. Don’t try and eat it straight from the oven- the topping is best when chilled, so make sure it is given time to cool down in the fridge before trying it!
The combination of yummy tropical fruits is fabulous. You don’t have to use fresh mango in these, if frozen is all you’ve got, then roll with it! They will still be delicious. I haven’t tried freezing this, but I think it would be perfect frozen, as the topping would be almost like a mango weiss bar.
