Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 large very ripe mangoes
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar (or granulated sugar), divided
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (240ml)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Mint leaves for garnishing (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the mangoes: Peel the mangoes and cut around the pit. Reserve half of one mango for garnishing. Chop the remaining mango flesh and place it into a food processor. Add 1 tablespoon of cane sugar and the orange zest, then blend until you get a smooth mango puree.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cane sugar and the vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, which should take about 3 minutes.
- Assemble the dessert: In serving cups, layer the mango puree and whipped cream alternately. Dice the reserved mango piece and use it to top the layers. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately or chill the dessert for at least 30 minutes before serving for best taste.
