Mangocream Recipes

HOMEMADE MANGO ICE CREAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Dice the flesh of the mango (see video for how I do it). Puree using a blender, food processor or stick blender then measure out 2 cups of mango puree (about 2 1/4 cups of diced mango).
• Pour puree into a non stick skillet over medium low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 8 - 10 minutes or until it reduces by half. The test is when you can drag a wooden spoon across the skillet and the path remains there for a second (see video). Or measure out the puree to ensure it's reduced to at least 1 cup - less is even better!
• Cool puree.

MANGO CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring to a boil water to cover mangos. Place whole, unpeeled mangos in boiling water and simmer until skin starts to come off. Remove mangos from water and let cool until cool enough to handle.
• While the mangos are simmering, beat the cream and honey in a medium bowl until light and fluffy.
• Remove the skin from the mangos and remove the mangos from their pits. Place fruit in a blender and puree until smooth. Fold mango puree into cream mixture until well combined. Mixture should be thick and smooth. Pour into dessert bowls and chill 2 hours in refrigerator before serving.

HOMEMADE MANGO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the mangoes, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a nonreactive bowl; let sit for 2 hours. Puree in a food processor; strain to remove any fibers.
• Using a mixer at high speed, beat egg and egg yolks until light and fluffy. Gradually add the remaining sugar, then lower the speed and add the milk, cream, and mango puree until well mixed. Chill, then pour into an ice-cream maker; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

MANGO CREAM

Steps:

• Peel mangoes and cut flesh from pit; finely dice half of the fruit.
• In a blender or food processor, puree remaining fruit, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup sugar.
• In a bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Beat in remaining 1 Tablespoon sugar and salt until stiff but not dry. In another bowl, whip cream until stiff. Gently fold beaten egg whites into whipped cream. Fold in mango puree, then fold in diced mango. Spoon into a serving bowl or individual dessert dishes; refrigerate 30 minutes. To serve, decorate with chocolate.
• Variation: As an interesting change of flavor, substitute freshly squeezed lime juice for the lemon juice. The delicate lime flavor blends well with mangoes.

FROZEN MANGO-CREAM CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat inside of 8 ring molds (each about 2 inches high and 2 3/4 inches in diameter) with cooking spray. Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Make the crust: Pulse macadamia nuts and granulated sugar in a food processor until finely ground. In a bowl, combine nuts, flour, and butter with a fork until mixture resembles coarse meal. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the mixture into each mold, and press into bottom. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool.
• Make the mousse: Pour orange juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle with gelatin, and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Heat over low heat, stirring, until dissolved. Remove from heat.
• Cut one-quarter of one mango into 1/8-inch-thick slices for garnish (halve large slices); cover, and refrigerate. Coarsely chop remaining mangoes. In a blender, puree chopped mangoes, granulated sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. With machine running, add gelatin mixture in a slow, steady stream, and blend until combined. Transfer to a bowl.
• With a whisk or an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream until soft peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar, and beat until soft peaks return. Whisk one-third of the whipped cream into the mango mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in remaining whipped cream.
• Divide mousse among molds, filling three-quarters full. Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours (up to 1 week).
• When ready to serve, let cakes stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Gently push up from bottoms to unmold. Transfer cakes to serving plates; let stand 10 minutes to soften slightly. Serve garnished with mango slices.

MANGO CREAM

Steps:

• Peel the mangoes and cut them into pieces. Place the mango pieces in a medium-sized saucepan with water to cover and cook them over low heat for 10 minutes, or until very tender. When cooked, put the mango through a food mill until you have a thin pulp. Place the pulp in a small bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and chill it for 1 hour. Meanwhile, whip the cream with an electric mixer or wire whisk, slowly fold in the sweetened cream, stirring only enough to make sure that the ingredients are well mixed. Pour the mango cream into individual sherbet glasses, sprinkle each serving with some of the toasted coconut garnish with mint and serve.
