Mango Freeze
- 6 large ripe but firm mangoes
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche
- Using a sharp vegetable peeler, peel half of a mango.
- Holding the fruit by its unpeeled half, cut 1/2-inch-thick lengthwise slices down to the pit.
- Then cut crosswise against the pit to release the slices.
- Repeat the process with the other half of the mango, then repeat with the remaining mangoes.
- Cut the slices into 1/2-inch dice and transfer to a medium bowl.
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with the lemon juice and cook over low heat, stirring, until dissolved.
- Let cool, then pour over the mangoes and toss well.
- Transfer to a shallow baking dish lined with plastic wrap.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until semi-frozen, 3 to 4 hours.
- If the mangoes are frozen solid, let them stand in the refrigerator until slightly thawed.
- Scoop the mangoes into individual bowls and drizzle with the creme fraiche.
