Mango Creme Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Peel and slice the mangoes.
• Cover with water in a saucepan and cook until soft.
• Puree cooked mango pieces to a thin pulp.
• Put pulp in a bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Combine cream and sugar and whip until light.
• Fold in mango puree and chill before serving.
• Garnish!

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees farenheit.
• Whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl until combined well.
• Place this custard mixture into a 2qt saucepan.
• Using the tip of a knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean into cream, then add pod.
• Heat over moderate heat until hot but not boiling.
• Discard pod and add cream to egg mixture in a slow stream, whisking until combined.
• Spoon 1/4 c mango into each ramekin.
• Pour custard through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, then ladle over mango.
• Arrange ramekins in a roasting pan and bake in a hot water bath in middle of the oven until custards are just set, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer custards with tongs to a rack to cool, then chill, uncovered, at least 4 hours.
• Preheat broiler.
• Sprinkle turbinado sugar evenly over custards and broil in a shallow baking pan (5 to 7 inches from the heat) until sugar is caramelized, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• *Note* A blowtorch can be used to caramelize the sugar topping instead of the broiler.
