Yummy dessert

This is a wonderful light refreshing dessert. Simple but great flavors.  Love to serve this in the summer in wine glasses or goblets when we don't want a heavy dessert. Everyone we have served this to loves it.

A refreshing sweet little finish to any evening - great toasted coconut on top, and just the right hint of rum. Make sure to use the freshest ripest mango and kiwi for the best result.
