Ingredients

  • 12 oz silken tofu (1 pack of Morinaga silken tofu, 336 g)

  • ¼ cup water
  • mint, fresh

Instructions

  • In a small pot add the sugar, mango, water and lemon. Mix and cook over medium heat until the fruits burst and then simmer for about 8 minutes. You should have a small amount of liquid (kind of like a syrup) and the fruits should be very soft. Blend the sauce and then reserve until needed.

  1. What do you mean by until liquids burst?

    1. Hi Deb, that should have read ‘until the fruits burst’. Have changed, thanks!

  2. 5 stars
    Yummy! Super refreshing and delicious, I will be making this again in the future. I used frozen mango and it turned out great. Thanks for the new recipe!

    1. Thank you too Maddi! Really glad you enjoyed it. I often use frozen mango too, I can’t always get fresh reliably here 🙂
