Mango and labne slice
Mango and labne slice is a chilled dessert combining a crunchy gingernut biscuit base with a creamy, tangy yoghurt and mango filling. The Thermomix grinds the biscuits, whips the cream and blends the frozen mango into a silky mixture. Ideal for summer gatherings, this no-bake slice sets in the fridge and cuts into neat, restaurant-style portions.
About this recipe
Mango and labne slice with your Thermomix TM7 is the kind of chilled dessert recipe that turns a handful of everyday ingredients into something truly festive. Frozen mango delivers intense tropical sweetness year-round, while Greek style yoghurt brings a gentle tang that keeps the filling from tasting too rich. The gingernut and shredded coconut base, bound with melted butter, gives every bite a warming spice crunch against the creamy top. As an all-in-one kitchen machine, the TM7 grinds the biscuits to an even crumb, whips the pouring cream to soft peaks with the butterfly whisk and blends the mango filling until completely silky, all in one bowl with minimal washing up. Because the slice sets in the fridge, it is the ideal make-ahead dessert for summer barbecues, birthday parties or a relaxed weekend lunch, and it slices cleanly into neat portions that look straight out of a patisserie.
Preparation tips
- Press the gingernut and coconut crumb firmly into the base of a lined tin using the back of a glass so the slice holds together when cut; a loose base tin makes lifting out the finished dessert much easier.
- Dissolve the gelatine powder completely in a small amount of warm water before adding it to the mango and yoghurt mixture, otherwise you may end up with small set lumps in the creamy filling.
- For a kid-friendly version, swap the Greek style yoghurt for a milder plain yoghurt and let children decorate the top with extra diced frozen mango and toasted shredded coconut before chilling.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free variation: replace the Greek style yoghurt with a thick lactose-free alternative, use lactose-free pouring cream and plant-based butter in the gingernut base for the same creamy result.
- Festive variation: fold finely diced fresh passion fruit through the mango filling and dust the finished slice with icing sugar and toasted shredded coconut for an elegant Christmas or summer party dessert.
