The perfect dessert for our hot, Aussie summer.
Ingredients
- 4 Calypso mangoes
- 0.6 cup white sugar
Passionfruit Cream
- 300 ml thickened cream
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 2 passionfruit pulp removed
Method
-
Step 1To make passionfruit cream: whip the cream, sour cream and vanilla together until thick. Fold through the passionfruit. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
-
Step 2Cut the cheeks from the mangoes. Score the mango cheeks. Spoon the sugar onto a plate.
-
Step 3Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over high heat. Dip 2-3 mango cheeks (see notes), cut-side down, into sugar. Place a sheet of baking paper into the hot pan, then add mangoes, cut-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until sugar has caramelised. Using tongs, lift mango cheeks onto a tray, cut side up. Discard the paper. Repeat with remaining mangoes and sugar.

Step 4Serve mangoes with passionfruit cream.
Recipe Notes
Best to cook in batches, so the pan stays hot and mango doesn’t stew.
You can also cook mangoes on the flat plate of a barbecue if you prefer.
They are delicious served with coconut ice cream.
