Thai Mango Sherbert Recipes

EASY THAI MANGO SORBET

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.

THAI - LIME & MANGO SHERBET

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.

THAI SWEET STICKY RICE WITH MANGO (KHAO NEEO MAMUANG)

Steps:

• Combine the rice and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the rice cooks, mix together 1 1/2 cups coconut milk, 1 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil; remove from heat and set aside. Stir the cooked rice into the coconut milk mixture; cover. Allow to cool for 1 hour.
• Make a sauce by mixing together 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the tapioca starch in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
• Place the sticky rice on a serving dish. Arrange the mangos on top of the rice. Pour the sauce over the mangos and rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

MANGO SHERBET

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.
