Mango Coconut Cake With Yogurt Lime Cream Food

NO-CHURN MANGO-COCONUT-LIME ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk the mango pulp, condensed milk, lime zest and juice, confectioners' sugar and coconut extract in a large bowl until smooth; set aside.
• Scoop the solids off the top of the can of coconut cream into a separate large bowl. (Discard the liquid; if any liquid has risen to the top, pour it off before scooping out the solids.) Break the solid coconut cream into small chunks, then add the heavy cream and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. (There may be a few small chunks of coconut cream.)
• Fold about half of the whipped cream into the mango mixture with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain.
• Spoon the mixture into a freezer-safe 9-by-5-inch loaf pan or 2-quart baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm and scoopable, at least 6 hours or overnight. Let soften about 20 minutes at room temperature before scooping.

COCONUT & MANGO SPONGE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line a 20 x 30cm baking tin with 2 strips of criss-crossed baking parchment. Dry the mango pieces on some kitchen paper, then chop into 3cm pieces and set aside.
• Place the butter and sugar into a bowl, and whisk until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Use a spatula to fold through the flour and coconut, then the mango pieces and yogurt. Scrape the mixture into your tin and smooth over the surface, then sprinkle with a little extra coconut. Bake for 30 mins until risen and golden and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 mins in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack. This cake is delicious served warm with an extra blob of coconut yogurt, or just as good cold. Keeps in a tin for up to 3 days.

COCONUT CREAMS WITH MANGO & LIME

Steps:

• Pour the coconut cream and double cream into a heavy-based saucepan with the sugar, broad strips of lime zest and crushed coconut, then set over a low heat, stirring a little to help the sugar dissolve. Turn the heat off just before it boils and leave to infuse for 1 hr (longer is fine). Strain and throw away the solids.
• Soak the gelatine in cold water for 10 mins to soften. Reheat the coconut mixture until hand-warm (if it's too hot, the panna cotta will not set properly). Stir in the lime juice.
• Lift the gelatine from the water and squeeze out the excess liquid. Stir into the coconut mixture. Divide between four metal moulds, each with a capacity of 125ml, or up to six teacups or small bowls if you're not turning out the panna cotta. Leave to cool, then put in a small roasting tin (just to transport them). Cover and chill in the fridge for about 4-6 hrs.
• Cut off the two 'cheeks' of the mango. (You could use the rest of the flesh for a smoothie). Place them, cut-side down, on a chopping board, then cut on an angle into thin slices. Transfer to a bowl and pour the lime juice over them.
• If you want to turn out the panna cotta, dip the moulds in to a bowl of boiling water for 5 seconds and loosen the edges with a knife. For each one, put a plate over the mould, turn the mould over while holding the plate in place, and shake. The panna cotta should slip out. Garnish with fine strips of lime zest, if you like. Serve alongside the lime-marinated mango.

MANGO, LIME & COCONUT SUNDAES

Steps:

• Put half the mango slices in a bowl with half the lime juice and half the zest, cover and chill until serving. Put the rest of the mango in the freezer for 3-4 hrs or until frozen solid.
• Put the frozen mango in a blender with the rest of the lime juice and zest (saving a few pinches for decoration), blend until smooth, then tip into a container and leave in the freezer until needed.
• Just before serving, put the chilled mango pieces in the bottom of 6 sundae glasses and take the coconut ice cream and frozen mango sorbet out of the freezer to defrost just enough to scoop. Divide the mango sorbet and the coconut ice cream between the glasses, and decorate with mint leaves, lime slices and any remaining lime zest. Serve immediately.
