MANGO CREAM

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.

MANGO CREAM

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.
