Mango Tropical Dessert

This mango is not a Philippine mango, but rather from Mexico. This is Ataulfo and is sweet too, but nothing beats the sweetness of the Philippine mangoes especially the mangoes that grow in Zambales, Philippines.

I bought a bunch of mangoes the last time I went to the supermarket, but I did not get a chance to make the dessert that I was supposed to make. So, the mangoes are starting to smell overripe and I just can’t let another day pass without eating them. I already threw two large pieces away this week because they were already rotten. And, I don’t want this last one to be wasted.

And, before the rest of the fruit gets bad, I better make them. I’m glad we had a box of graham crackers, but I did not need it all. I only crushed two pieces. It’s looking yummy, right? And, of course, it is healthy and delicious.

You don’t have to follow my arrangement. Feel free to decorate your own, it would be fun to see your own arrangement.
