Start by peeling the litchis, making a slit in them and removing the seeds gently.

How To Pick A Perfectly Ripe Mango?
Always press the mango slightly before buying it. If you're able to squeeze it easily, it's a good indicator of ripeness. The mango should also have a sweet aroma, feel heavy and be plumper.
How To Tell If Litchi Is Ripe?
To get your hands on the best litchi, look for the ones with vibrant red or pink skin. A ripe litchi should feel firm when pressed - it shouldn't be too soft or too hard.
So, the next time you're craving a unique dessert, give this mango-stuffed litchi a try! It's sure to win over your heart and taste buds!
