Mango-Lime Parfait
Nomi Shannon
A soft, cool and smooth dessert. For a strong citrus flavor, add one
whole peeled lemon or lime to the blender, along with the lemon or lime
juice called for in the recipe. This will result in a tart citrus-y
dessert, much like lemon or lime pie. Before adding the dates, taste the
mango mixture, you may not want to add too many if the mangoes are
already sweet.
Almond maple crust mixture (set aside in a bowl) - recipe below
4 cups coarsely chopped mango (about 5 mangoes)
1 cup lime juice (or lemon juice)
1 teaspoon of lime (or lemon) zest
4-8 dates, pitted and chopped
In a blender, place mango pieces and blend until smooth. Add lime juice,
zest and dates and process until smooth. Be patient. Mango is a very
fibrous fruit and you want to achieve smooth, pudding-like results.
In a parfait or wine glass, layer the crust mixture and the mango lime
mixture. Start with some crust mixture in the bottom of the glass, then
mango mixture, a bit of crust mixture and so on, ending with crust
mixture on top. Yield: 4 glasses of parfait.
Variation: substitute papaya or persimmon
Variation: Add another layer, made up of thinly sliced Kiwi fruit or
strawberries.
