This is one of those recipes where the technique is half the fun. The shaved fruit “snow” on top is just frozen fruit! It actually works because fresh fruit is naturally 80–90% water. When you freeze mango and strawberries solid overnight, that water content turns into fine, delicate ice crystals. Grate or peel them over the bowl, and you get this light, airy snow that melts on contact just like fruit snow.

I made a base of coconut chia pudding layered with fresh mango and a dollop of coconut yogurt. Perfect for a warm weather breakfast, snack, or an impressive-looking dessert that takes almost no effort or expensive machines!
