Method

  • step 1

    Put the flesh of 2 mangoes in a food processor and blend to a purée. Stir in almost all the finely chopped flesh of the other 2 mangoes, then spoon into the base of 8 glasses.

  • step 2

    Grind the cardamom seeds to a powder, then put in a bowl with the lime zest and juice, icing sugar and brandy. Stir well, then tip in the cream and whip until it holds its shape. Fold in the crushed meringue.

  • step 3

    Spoon the cream mixture on top of the mango purée, then spoon the remaining chopped mango on top. This can be made 1 hr ahead. Serve decorated with mint sprigs.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKING AHEAD

Don’t make these too far in advance – the meringue will simply start to dissolve. If you would rather make the syllabubs a day ahead, make them without the meringues, but serve them whole on the side to eat separately.

question

Can you use canned mango pulp? I did a practice run to try making the cardamom cream and it was delicious with or without the meringue, the cream would work well on a cake or as cupcake toppings too.

This is delicious. I didn’t puree the mango as it was very soft and ripe. I didn’t add the meringues as I didn’t have any so used a little extra sugar. Lovely dessert for a dinner party and you could use Greek yogurt if you wanted to make it healthier for everyday.

Will this work using frozen mango chunks?

Great dessert after an Indian meal. I have now made it with pineapple and rum, great combination and works well.

Has anyone tried any other fruit - loved it with mango but wondered if pineapple would work too?

Hi, There is no reason why pineapple wouldn't work but as we haven't tested it ourselves we are unable to advise on quantities needed. Thanks
