Mango and coconut bavarois: fresh, delicious and healthy dessert

Mango and Coconut Bavarois

This is Sara Sainthill birthday cake. Sara is a great source of inspiration in the kitchen and in life. She is yoga teacher, had an amazing life from Australia to Haarlem. But, above all Sara has this sparkling free spirit, this large empathic smile on your face that make you feel good at the first sight, this amazing energy she spreads over her students and friends. She really inspired this cake from her love for India flavors like coconut milk and mango. She also joined some of our Yummy, fun and healthy workshop, so I wanted something fresh, easy, healthy and delicious. Here it goes:
