One summer evening, we had a few overripe mangoes on the counter and a serious craving for something cold and creamy. Lauren had the idea to throw them into the blender with a can of coconut milk she’d chilled the night before. Cassidy, of course, was on board in a heartbeat — she’s never one to say no to frozen desserts. Within minutes, we had something so velvety and tropical, we couldn’t believe it only took three ingredients.
Now it’s become a sort of tradition. Whenever we feel the heat creeping in, we make a fresh batch and stash it in the freezer. Lauren loves adding a splash of lime for a tangy twist, while Cassidy piles hers with coconut flakes and fresh mango chunks. It’s simple, easy, and one of those things we’ll probably make forever.

There’s something so satisfying about making a dessert that tastes this indulgent yet is so effortless.

It’s become one of those feel-good things that always reminds us of sunshine and simplicity.
Even better, it’s endlessly customizable. Play around with toppings, swirl in some berry sauce, or keep it pure mango and coconut — either way, it’s a little scoop of joy. We hope you’ll keep it tucked in your freezer and in your heart like we do.
