    Mango shrikhand pavlova

    Shrikhand is a thick creamy Indian dessert made from strained yogurt that’s flavoured with either aromatic spices such as cardamon and saffron, or with tropical fruits including ripe mangoes, coconut or lychees. This pavlova has a rose-scented crunchy-chewy meringue base and creamy mango shrikhand topping that’s a little tart and zingy – with toasted almonds and coconut for some extra textural crunch on top. For a quick hack, use tinned mango pulp, which is available year-round. And you can use shop-bought meringue nests for a super-quick version.
