Ingredients
For the Mango Parfait
Whipping Cream 200 gm
Mango Puree 40 gm (blend fresh mangoes)
Sugar 30 gm
Lemon ½
For the Crumble
Almond Powder 50 gm
Refined Flour 50 gm
Castor Sugar 50 gm
Unsalted Butter 50 gm (slightly chilled)
For Salted Caramel Sauce
Salted Butter 90 gm
Castor Sugar 200 gm
Fresh Cream 120 ml
Salt 5 gm
Method
For the Mango Parfait
Squeeze the lemon and mix it with the sugar. Mix with the mango puree and keep aside.
Whip the cream, and delicately fold in the sweetened mango puree.
Keep this mix in the fridge until ready to use.
For the Crumble
Mix all ingredients together till it forms a sandy texture.
Spread on a baking tray, allow to rest in the fridge for half an hour.
Bake at 160 C for 15 minutes.
Keep aside to cool.
For Salted Caramel Sauce
Heat the sugar in a saucepan, stirring in between. Don’t overdo it, and wait until it forms a thick brown, amber coloured liquid.
Once the sugar has melted completely, add in the butter. Don’t stay too close to the pan as there will be strong heat and bubbles.
Warm the cream and pour it into the caramel while stirring constantly so the caramel emulsifies.
Once the mixture is smooth, add in the salt, mix and take it off the heat.
Store until cool.
Assembly
In a tall glass, sprinkle a layer of the crumble, drizzle a layer of salted caramel sauce and then pipe the mango parfait mixture.
Repeat this process one more time.
If you don’t have a tall glass, you can also just layer it once in a small glass.
For the final finish, chop up some fresh mangoes, and layer it at the top of the glass.
Serve cold.
