Thai Mango Sherbert Recipes

Steps:

• Slice mangos open and scoop out all of the fruit from the skins. Don't forget the fruit around the stone!
• Place fruit in a food processor or blender. Add sugar and pulse for 1 minute, or until all the sugar has dissolved and you are left with a delicious mango puree.
• Add coconut milk and lemon juice. Pulse briefly to combine. *At this point you can perform an option step as listed below.
• Pour the mano puree into a bowl or container while you continue to use your processor/blender.
• Pour the whipping cream into the processor and blitz until the cream forms stiff peaks.
• Add the mango puree to the whipped cream and blitz 5-10 seconds, or until you get a good mango-ceram consistency.
• Pour into a large yogurt container or similar size tup and place in the freezer. Allow to freeze at least 6 hours - preferably 8.
• Serve the mango sorbet in bowls, or scoop into ice-cream cones for the kids. (To make scooping easier, take the sorbet out of the freezer 10-15 min ahead of serving.) For an adult treat, try drizzling a little coconut liquer over sorbet.
• Optional Step.
• Some people don't want bits of mango fibre in their sorbet. I actually like it, as I find it enhances the taste of the sorbet - plus it's healthy! But if you'd rather strain it out, here's how. Between steps 3 and 4, pour the mango puree through a strainer placed over a bowl. Use a spatual or wooden spoon to press the pulp against the bottom of the strainer in order to "wring out" every ounce of mango juice. Continue on with steps 4/5.

Steps:

• 1. Slice the mangos open and scoop out all of the fruit from the skins. Don't forget to include fruit around the seed (a knife works well for this).
• 2. Place the fruit in a food processor or blender. Add the sugar and blitz for 1 minute, or until the sugar has dissolved and you are left with a delicious mango puree.
• 3. Add the coconut milk and lemon juice, and briefly blitz to combine (a few seconds).
• 4. Pour the mango puree into a bowl or container while you continue to use your processor/blender. Scape down the sides and bottom with a rubber spatula to remove as much of the puree as possible.
• 5. Now pour the whipping cream into the processor/blender. Blitz until the cream forms stiff peaks, or is quite stiff (not runny) when dipped into with your finger.
• 6. Add the mango puree to the whipped cream and blitz 5-10 seconds, or until you get a good mango-cream consistency.
• 7. Pour into a large yogurt container or similar size tub and place in the freezer. Allow to freeze at least 6 hours, preferably 8.
• 8. Serve the mango sorbet in bowls, or scoop into ice cream cones for the kids. (To make scooping easier, take the sorbet out of the freezer 10 to 15 minutes ahead of time).

Steps:

• 1. In a small pan, gently heat the sugar, water and lime rind, until the sugar dissolves about 3 minutes.
• 2. Boil rapidly for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and strain into a bowl.
• 3. Let cool and add the coconut cream, set aside until needed.
• 4. Add the lime juice and chopped mango into a food processor and puree till it is smooth.
• 5. Add the cooled coconut cream mixture into the mango puree, making sure to mix well.
• 6. Pour into a large, freezer proof container and freeze for 1 hour, until slushy in texture.
• 7. Remove the container from the freezer and with an electric mixer break up the ice crystals.
• 8. Then put back in freezer for another hour, remove and again break up with the mixer making sure that the it is smooth.
• 9. Cover the container and place back in the freezer and leave until very firm, about 4 hours.
• 10. To serve, remove the sherbet from the freezer and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
• 11. This is wonderful on its own, but it is put over the top with the addition of fresh berries (strawberries/blueberries/raspberries) or your choice of exotic fruits.

Steps:

• Place frozen mango chunks in a food processor; let stand 5 minutes to thaw slightly. Add maple syrup, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon water. Process, scraping down sides, until smooth and thick (if too thick, add up to 1 tablespoon additional water), about 2 minutes.
• Pack into a resealable container and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Fruit can be frozen and wrapped in plastic weeks in advance.
• Using a zester, remove outer orange colored peel of orange. Wrap zest in plastic and set aside. Remove remaining skin, pull into sections and set aside.
• Peel and slice your mango if needed.
• Line baking sheet with wax paper.
• Place mango and orange on baking sheet. Freeze until firm.
• Remove 15 minutes before using. Place in food processor along with peel and sugar. Process until minced.
• Add yogurt and liqueur to minced fruit, process until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Serve sherbet immediately or transfer it to bowl and place in freezer. Remover from freezer 20 to 30 minutes before serving time and let soften in refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a bowl wash rice well in several changes of cold water until water is clear. Soak rice in cold water to cover overnight.
• Drain rice well in a sieve. Set sieve over a large deep saucepan of simmering water (sieve should not touch water) and steam rice, covered with a kitchen towel and a lid, 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender (check water level in pan occasionally, adding more water if necessary).
• While rice is cooking, in a small saucepan bring 1 cup coconut milk to a boil with 1/3 cup sugar and salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and remove from heat. Keep mixture warm.
• Transfer cooked rice to a bowl and stir in coconut-milk mixture. Let rice stand, covered, 30 minutes, or until coconut-milk mixture is absorbed. Rice may be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead and kept covered at room temperature.
• While rice is standing, in cleaned small pan slowly boil remaining 1/3 cup coconut milk with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Transfer sauce to a small bowl and chill until cool and thickened slightly.
• To serve, mold 1/4 cup servings of sticky rice on dessert plates. Drizzle desserts with sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Divide mango slices among plates.

Steps:

• Make sure your ice cream maker's freezer bowl is frozen solid (you don't want to hear even the slightest sloshing noise when shaken). Keep in the freezer until absolutely ready to pour mixture into the machine.
• Into a 5-quart capacity food processor, using the chopping blade (or blender), place all ingredients. Puree until smooth.
• Place mixture into the freezer tub of your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for freezing. It took only 15 minutes for my machine to churn and freeze.
• With a spatula, turn sorbet into a freezer container. Freeze for 2-4 hours or until desired texture.
