WOW, talk about a beautiful dessert. This is a recipe that will impress your guests. I had company in from Kansas City and wanted to make a special dessert. With the heat I didn't want to bake something and heat up the kitchen. So I created this new and fairly easy dessert. The only thing that takes some effort is the mango coulis. I used frozen mango because that is what I had on hand. It made the process easier. The pie is best with the coulis because it give it an extra zing with fresh lemon zest and lemon juice. "Coulis" is a thick sauce made from pureed fruit. It gives the dessert the WOW factor. I served it with baked salmon and fresh green beans. Something fairly light, so my guests would have room for a decadent dessert. Also, below you will find some photos I took while shopping at our local growers market. It is one of my favorite summer things to do on Saturday morning. The carrots were amazing and the artichoke flowers were breathtaking. I thought you might enjoy them as well. I hope you are enjoying your summer. Until next time - Bon Appetit, Cecelia
