- 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream, optional
- Heat the grill to high.
- Place a medium saucepan on the grates of the grill, add the butter, and brown sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has melted and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- While the sauce is cooking, remove the mangoes from the peel and cut into diamond shapes.
- Place the diamonds onto serving plates.
- Remove the pan with the sauce from the heat and add the bourbon.
- Using a long lit match, ignite the bourbon and allow the flames to subside.
