Oh that looks so tasty! And I make my own condensed milk sometimes so i could use that. How are you darling? All well over there? c
Thanks C! Yes, I am sure condensed milk will be wonderful. I have been somewhat AWOL for the last while but all okay thank you! Much love to you. xoxo
Looks lovely and a very nice picture too!
Your are very kind Lori, thank you so much! Have a super week. π xo
That is so pretty! What a gorgeous torte. I have been thinking of you and the tragic loss of your cat. I do hope you are healing xx
Thanks Charlie! It has been a difficult time the past few weeks but I am managing to get through my days with less and less tears. Have a beautiful day. xo
What a gorgeous dessert … or brunch treat! It would take patience to layer the mango like that but so worth it for the look. Well done!
Thanks Judy. Must say the mango pieces weren’t too time consuming, thankfully and well worth the effort. I will definitely be making this again before mango season is over. Have a super week. π xo
That is absolutely stunning….and made with my number one favourite fruit! Hope all is well with you dear Mandy x
We will have to enjoy a slice of this together one day Tanya. Sadly my Pete is back in Kenya and we will wait to find out about his trip to Iran in early February before we make plans for my next trip to Kenya or Pete’s home. We had a lovely Christmas and New Year – it, as always went by too quickly. Much love to you. xo
Oh dear..so much travel but it will be worth it in the end.
Yes, absolutely! xo
Looks very delicious..and as it is summer in my part of the world, with mangoes aplenty, I think I will give it a go. Thanks for sharing. margaret
I would love to hear how you enjoy this Margaret. Have a super day. π xo

Not only delicious-sounding, but so beautiful!
Thanks so very much Tonette! Have a lovely day. π xo
Such a stunning dessert! I don’t know if I would have the patience to layer the mangos like you did but it is gorgeous!
Thanks very much Bam. It honestly didn’t take long at all to put the slices of mango on. Have a happy day. π xo
This sounds so wonderful. Thank you for sharing. XX
Thanks Emma. I will definitely make this again through summer. Have a wonderful day. π xo
Wow, that looks so pretty!
Thanks so much Tandy. Have a super afternoon. π xo
That a lovely looking dessert Mandy. Mangos are much easier to come by now that we live in Florida so this will be a nice treat when they are in season.
I was shocked at how much mangoes cost this season Karen. They are far too delicious not to buy. Have a wonderful weekend. π xo
This is one gorgeous torte, Mandy. Your dinner guests must have oohed and aahed when you sat it on the table. And rightfully so! You’ll have to show me how to make one when you visit. π
It will be beyond wonderful the day I say I am booking a flight to come and visit! Have a beautiful day John. π xo
Hi Mandy, this has to be the prettiest torte I have ever seen, looks like a work of art;)
You are very kind Cheri, thank you so much! Have as super day. xo
Wow what a gorgeous torte Mandy. Love your beautiful creativity and that mango will be in my dreams. You have been missed! Hope you are well π
Thanks so much Tricia! All well thank you, trust the same with you. Have a wonderful day. π xo
What a spectacularly beautiful and inviting tart, Mandy! The colors are so bright and happy, too, it just makes me smile. Have a great day! π
You are very kind, thank you! Have a great day too. π xo
looks nice, and so delicious, i’ll try the recipe at home, thank you for sharing the recipe.
I would love to hear how you enjoy the tore Dendy. π
That is absolutely a work of art, both culinary and visual! And an excellent shot, phone or no. I will gladly try to make something like this and I’m quite certain there’s nobody who would hesitate even slightly to taste (inhale) it even if I can’t make it nearly so gorgeous as yours. π
Hope you’re doing splendidly these days, and thinking of you often. Big hugs from here, my sweet!
Love,
Kathryn
Kath, you are too kind, thank you! I too, think of you often. I am not in front of the computer much lately and getting further and further behind with reading posts. All is well and I am off to Kenya tomorrow to be with my Pete for 2 weeks. Can’t wait! Trust all is happy with you too. Much love and sunshine filled hugs to you. π xoxoxo
I can’t criticize you for having been intermittent with the blog latelyβconsidering I’ve essentially taken a whole year’s sabbatical, I’m far behind you myself, and in my case that’s both in writing/posting and reading others’ blogs. π Life happens!! I’m so happy you get to be with Pete for a visit. It makes the times-between so much more bearable. Love and hugs back, and happy, happy travels!

Thanks Kath. It’s wonderful being here with Pete. 2 flights later. We went for the most incredible 9km hike in the forest and saw 2 small buck which was amazing. Looking forward to more adventures the next 2 weeks. Love to you from a stormy Kenya. xo
This dessert looks gorgeous! I would love to prepare this for my family!
Thank you so much! I would love to hear how you and your family enjoy it if you do make it. Thanks for stopping by. π xo
