Mango is one of my favorite fruits since I was kid,back home in Indonesia we had varieties of mango  Good mango when we cut there is no string in it,that what I like, I don't like stringy mango  because is too hard to slice it, and if  too ripe is not good either,the good one is ripe but still firm, anyway it's my personal opinion about mango :) Ingredients - 2 ripe mango - 3 teaspoon Kosher unflavored gelatin / small package - 1/2 cup water - 1/2 cup condensed milk - 2 tablespoon sugar - 3/4 cup thick coconut milk Preparation : 4- serving peeled mango and cut in cube/ slice puree mango in food processor or blender, set aside on the sauce pan boil 1/2 cup water until hot (or microwave about a minute ) pour unflavored gelatin to the hot water stirring really well,make sure there is no lump add
