Ingredient Notes

You will need ripe mangoes, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, and shredded coconut. For substitutions, agave syrup works well in place of honey. Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture, and opt for unsweetened shredded coconut for less sweetness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your grill to medium heat.
  2. While it heats, peel and slice the mangoes into thick wedges.
  3. In a small bowl, mix coconut milk with honey until well combined.
  4. Brush mango wedges with the coconut mixture and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until grill marks appear.
  5. Once done, sprinkle shredded coconut on top before serving.

Things I’ve Learned

Ensure you use ripe mangoes for the best sweetness and flavor. If you’re grilling ahead of time, store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days. The grilled mango can also be reheated briefly on the grill or in a microwave before serving. Feel free to make the coconut drizzle in advance as well.
