Grilled Mango with Ice Cream



Ingredients

2 Tbsp. lime juice
½ tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. honey
4 ripe mangos
Lime-in-the-Coconut Ice Cream (recipe here)



Preparation

• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for high, direct heat. Clean and oil the grate well.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, chili powder and honey. Set aside.
• Use a sharp knife to slice the sides from the mango, using the large flat seed in the center as a guide. Each mango will yield 2 pieces. Without piercing the skin, carefully slice a crosshatch pattern into the flesh.
• Grill the mango slices flesh-side down 4 to 5 minutes. Use tongs to carefully flip them, then brush the lime juice mixture onto the flesh, making sure to get the juice into the cracks. Flip the mango flesh-side down again, and grill 1 minute. Remove from grill and let cool slightly.
• To serve, gently press the skin in the center to fan out the mango flesh. Serve immediately with a scoop of ice cream.
