Muy refrescante, muy tropical. The bright sweetness of mangoes, when you can find them in good shape, is enhanced by the tang of the citrus. The combination will blow a Caribbean breeze your way when the weather is scorching. And speaking of scorching … adjust the cayenne pepper to your own tolerance for heat. I like mine muy caliente.
This recipe accompanies Karen’s video CHOW Tip on how to make these spicy frozen pops.
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 small ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup lime juice (from about 4 limes)
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Pinch of kosher salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Make a simple syrup by combining the sugar and water in a small saucepan and warming over medium heat just until the sugar dissolves. Cool completely.
- Combine the syrup, mangoes, lime juice, cayenne pepper, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend well, pour into molds, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Freeze up to 3 months. Store in the molds or release, wrap well in waxed paper, and store in a marked sealable plastic bag.
