Ripe mango gives this spoon dessert its body and flavour. Lemon adds acidity and fragrance. With no gelatine or starch, the result is a soft cream rather than a firm pudding for unmoulding.<\/p>\n
6 small portions. 15 minutes preparation and approximately 1 hour chilling.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n
\n
600 g ripe mango flesh, peeled and stoned<\/li>\n
200 ml single cream<\/li>\n
Up to 100 ml milk, only if needed for blending<\/li>\n
2 tbsp lemon juice (30 ml)<\/li>\n
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest, avoiding the white pith<\/li>\n
0\u201350 g sugar, depending on the sweetness of the mango<\/li>\n
1 small pinch of salt, optional<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/figure>\n
Method<\/h2>\n\n
Wash the mangoes before peeling and weigh out 600 g flesh. Cut into pieces. Wash the lemon and zest it before squeezing the juice.<\/li>\n
Blend the mango with the cream until smooth. If the blender cannot circulate the mixture, add milk gradually, up to 100 ml. Switch off before scraping down the sides.<\/li>\n
Add the juice, zest and optional salt. Taste to adjust the sweetness, adding sugar gradually up to 50 g. Blend briefly to combine.<\/li>\n
Divide between six small glasses, cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Serve chilled with a spoon. Chilling cools the mixture but does not turn it into a set jelly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Fibrous mango or a thin cream<\/h2>\n
Choose ripe mangoes with little fibre. If needed, sieve the pur\u00e9e before mixing in the dairy ingredients. Use milk only to help the blender: too much liquid thins the cream. If the mango is especially juicy, serve a looser dessert rather than expecting extra chilling to correct it.<\/p>\n
Storage<\/h2>\n
Keep covered in the fridge at 0\u20135\u00b0C and eat within 48 hours. Cool cooked food promptly and refrigerate within 2 hours, using shallow containers where needed. Mixing leftovers with new ingredients does not restart their storage time. Also follow any shorter use-by instructions on the packaging.<\/p>\n
