Dancing Orange Mango Recipes

DANCING ORANGE MANGO

Steps:

• 1. Scoop the melon flesh into a blender, add the fresh orange juice and mango juice and blend until smooth.
• 2. Rub the lime juice on the glasses and dip in the sugar to rim the glasses.
• 3. Pour into a chilled glass and decorate with your orange and lime slices.

ORANGE AND MANGO 'ICE CREAM'

Steps:

• Set your freezer to rapid freeze at least 30 minutes before required and remember to return it to its normal setting afterwards.
• Scoop out the flesh from the oranges, leaving the skins intact. If necessary, cut a small slice off the base of each orange half so that they stand upright. Put the orange and mango flesh, orange zest, yoghurt and crème fraîche in a blender. Blend for a few minutes until smooth. Spoon the mixture into a freezeable container and freeze for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to break up the ice crystals.
• Spoon the mixture into the orange halves. Return to the freezer and leave for at least 1 hour, or until frozen solid. Let soften in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve 2 orange halves per person sprinkled with some freshly-grated chocolate.
• Variation: You could use pink grapefruit instead of the oranges; add 2 tablespoons of finely grated zest to the yoghurt mixture. You could simply freeze the mixture in a container and serve it in scoops after letting it soften in the refrigerator.
