Mango Chile Ice Food

AUTHENTIC MANGONADA RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the frozen mango, mango nectar, lime juice and ice in a blender.
• Cover and puree on medium speed. Blend until smooth. About 1 minute.
• On two small plates, add some chili lime powder to one and chamoy in the other. Grab your cup, dip the edge on the chamoy, then transfer to the chili lime powder plate.
• Swirl some chamoy on the sides of the cup.
• Pour some Mangonada mixture in the cup, top with fresh mango chunks and sprinkle with chili lime powder. Add more chamoy on top, optional.
• Garnish each glass with a tamarind candy stick and a thick straw or a spoon. Enjoy immediately!

MANGO-CHILE GRANITA

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute; transfer to a blender and let cool completely.
• Add the mango nectar, cubed mango, lime juice and a pinch of salt to the blender and puree until smooth. Press through a fine-mesh sieve into an 8-inch-square stainless-steel or glass baking dish.
• Freeze until ice crystals begin forming around the edges, about 45 minutes. Use a fork to scrape the crystals toward the center of the pan, then continue freezing, scraping every 30 minutes, until frozen, about 4 hours. Serve topped with chile powder.
