Mango lassi – for this Indian-style smoothie, place the flesh of a ripe mango in a blender with a small carton of plain yogurt, a handful of ice cubes and a pinch of ground cardamom, and mix. Add a little sugar or a pinch of salt to taste.
Mango sorbet – purée the flesh of three ripe mangoes with 8oz/225g icing sugar and the juice of two limes. Taste and add more lime juice if needed, then freeze in an ice cream maker or else in a plastic box, stirring well every hour or so, until smooth.
Grilled mango – dust slices of mango with icing sugar and cook under a preheated grill until browned and bubbling. Serve with lime wedges and vanilla ice cream.
Mango and passion fruit yogurt – chop a ripe mango (wrinkly ones are ripe and sweet), and mix with the flesh of 2-3 passion fruit. Add a few tiny leaves of mint and divide between four glasses. Top with Greek yogurt, a swirl of honey and more mint, and eat it for breakfast.
