By nabylb

Fresh mango cheeks are caramelized beneath a crisp sugar crust and finished with lime, sansho pepper, and flaky salt. A quick, fruit-forward dessert with a bright, lightly spicy finish.

Prep: 5 min · Cook: 5 min · Serves 2 · Cuisine: Fusion

Ingredients

• 1 large ripe mango
• 1 lime
• as needed white sugar
• to taste sansho pepper or chili flakes
• to taste flaky salt

Method

1. Cut the two cheeks from the mango and score the flesh into a grid without cutting through the skin.
2. Gently open the cuts and add a little lime juice and finely grated lime zest between the pieces. Return the mango cheek to a flat shape.
3. Pat the surface very dry with a paper towel.
4. Dip the flesh side into the sugar, coating it with a thin, even layer.
5. Caramelize with a blowtorch until the sugar becomes deep golden and crisp.
6. Leave for 1–2 minutes, until the caramel is completely hard.
7. Finish with a tiny pinch of sansho, lime zest, and a few flakes of salt.
