Great with mangoes from the Philippines. The best in the world! Mangoes from the supermarket may be used as well. This recipe is one of the most requested dessert in the family. Great with vanilla ice cream!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

With just the right amount of sweetness this mango cobbler is a real treat and couldn't be easier to make. The mango juice caramelizes atop the cobbler while it bakes, making the top crispy and absolutely divine. We've made this using canned mangoes and simmering fresh mangoes. The results of both are terrific.

    Note: For fresh mangoes, peel the skin of 4 mangoes (halved) and simmer for a few minutes with 1 cup water and 1/4 cup sugar. Use its liquid for juice. Fresh mangoes that were simmered are juicier than the canned ones. Canned peaches are also great for this recipe. I prefer to use fresh mango, though.
