Mango Ice Cream, A Favorite Of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

1. 1

   You will need 6-8 very ripe mangoes, peeled and pitted and pureed to make 4 cups total.

2. 2

   Scald the cream and then remove from heat.

3. 3

   Stir in the sugar until it dissolves [you can use superfine sugar].

4. 4

   Then, stir in the mango puree and the strained lime juice.

5. 5

   Let cool in the refrigerator.

6. 6

   Freeze in an ice cream machine, according to the manufacturer's directions.

7. 7

   When the ice cream is ready, store it in a container in the freezer.

8. 8

   You can serve this with julienned strips of mango over the top of each serving and/or a bit of freshly-grated ginger [microplane graters and zesters are the best for grating ginger].

9. 9

   NOTE: This should be served the same day it is made so that it doesn't get too hard. You can scoop it out into the serving bowls a little ahead of time and leave in the refrigerator so the consistency can be gooey but firm. Chefs for the Royal Family shape the ice cream with 2 spoons into oval shapes.

10. 10

    You can also add more egg yolks and good-quality vanilla or bourbon vanilla to taste.
