mmmm Mango Dessert

I have tried time after time to find a dessert that would be good with Indian food when I serve it. I really do not like the authentic Indian desserts at the Indian grocery store (sorry, rose water isn't my favorite). I was thrilled when Dr. Food called to me from the basement where he was on the treadmill (ok, he was looking for a dessert to go with our Indian dinner at the same time) that he found a good dessert.

I didn't get a picture of it before we dipped into it. I swear I served it up in adorable little dishes that looked kinda like this (I am too lazy to take a picture of them after the fact and I want to create a mental image for you so you will know how good it tasted and looked even though I didn't get a good picture).



Um, pretend the Chinese food isn't there...



So imagine that pretty color in the square little dish. Just make this. You will be happy you did.
