  2. Place 1 mango half, skin side down and score the flesh all the way down in a chess board pattern. Take care not to cut the skin. Gently push the skin up to separate the sections of mango and then cut the flesh away from the skin. Repeat with the other half.
  3. Divide the amaretti between four serving dishes. Top with the yogurt. Spoon over the mango chunks and then drizzle over the honey. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
Top Tip for making Mango, yogurt and amoretti layer

To choose a mango cradle in it your hand and it should feel firm but not hard and the skin should be tight. Hold the stem end close to your nose and smell. It should smell sweet. No scent means no flavour and a sour smell means it has begun to ferment. Keep mangoes at room temperature where they will continue to ripen.
