Mango Dessert
1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen optional)
1/4 cup orange juice
4 tablespoons chopped pistachios
In a small bowl, combine the raspberries with the orange juice and let them marinate while you're preparing the mango mixture. Place the mangoes, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Divide half of the mango mixture evenly among four dessert dishes. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the marinated raspberries evenly over the mango layer, then top with the remaining mango mixture. Refrigerate for several hours, or until well-chilled.
Just before serving, garnish with the remaining raspberries and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
This chilled mango dessert is an ideal antidote to the heat, combin- ing high-water-content fruits like mangoes and raspberries to keep you naturally hydrated and refreshed.

Sugar Replacement Optional:
