Ingredients

1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
4 egg whites
1 pot natural yoghurt
1 envelope unflavoured gelatine powder
8 individual serving pots or dessert glasses (1/2 cup capacity each)
1/3 cup granulated sugar

4 egg whites
1 pot natural yoghurt
1 envelope unflavoured gelatine powder
8 individual serving pots or dessert glasses (1/2 cup capacity each)
Where to find ingredients
Mangoes are widely available at local markets and grocery stores; choose fruit that yields slightly to pressure. For the natural yoghurt and limes, local supermarkets or fresh produce stands are your best bet. Unflavoured gelatine can usually be found in the baking aisle of most major supermarkets or at specialty kitchen supply stores. If fresh mango is out of season, you can use high-quality frozen mango chunks as a substitute, ensuring they are fully thawed and drained before puréeing.
Preparation method
- Blitz the mango in a blender until you have a smooth purée
- Set the purée aside
- Whisk the egg whites in a mixing bowl until they start to froth
- Gradually add the sugar while continuing to whisk until you reach firm peaks
- Set the stiff egg whites aside
- Pour the water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatine over the surface
- Allow the gelatine to hydrate for 1 minute
- Gently melt the gelatine in a bain-marie until it has completely dissolved
- Fold the dissolved gelatine into the mango purée
- Stir the yoghurt and lime zest into the purée until well combined and smooth
- Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the mango mixture using a spatula
- Divide the mixture into your individual pots or dessert glasses
- Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving
- Garnish with thin slices of fresh mango just before serving
Observations
This recipe is a brilliant way to finish a meal on a light note. Whisked egg whites create a lovely airy consistency, while the yoghurt perfectly offsets the natural sweetness of the mango with a hint of zesty lime freshness.
