THE CAPTAIN'S MANGO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine mangoes, cream, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a blender or food processor. Blend on high for 30 seconds.
• Transfer to an airtight container. Stir in spiced rum and salt. Refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

CREAMY MANGO DESSERT

Steps:

• Stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cold nectar. Remove 1-1/2 cups of the gelatin; set aside for later use. (Do not refrigerate.) Pour remaining gelatin into 8 individual dessert dishes. Refrigerate 1 hour or until set but not firm. (Gelatin should stick to finger when touched.)
• Beat cream cheese in medium bowl until creamy. Gradually add reserved 1-1/2 cups gelatin, beating until well blended. Spoon over gelatin in dishes.
• Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm. Store leftover desserts in refrigerator.

MANGO CREAM

Steps:

• Peel mangoes and cut flesh from pit; finely dice half of the fruit.
• In a blender or food processor, puree remaining fruit, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup sugar.
• In a bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Beat in remaining 1 Tablespoon sugar and salt until stiff but not dry. In another bowl, whip cream until stiff. Gently fold beaten egg whites into whipped cream. Fold in mango puree, then fold in diced mango. Spoon into a serving bowl or individual dessert dishes; refrigerate 30 minutes. To serve, decorate with chocolate.
• Variation: As an interesting change of flavor, substitute freshly squeezed lime juice for the lemon juice. The delicate lime flavor blends well with mangoes.

MANGO CREAM

Steps:

• Peel the mangoes and cut them into pieces. Place the mango pieces in a medium-sized saucepan with water to cover and cook them over low heat for 10 minutes, or until very tender. When cooked, put the mango through a food mill until you have a thick pulp. Place the pulp in a small bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and chill it for 1 hour. Meanwhile, whip the cream with an electric mixer or wire whisk, slowly sprinkling in the sugar. When the mango pulp is chilled, slowly fold in the sweetened cream, stirring only enough to make sure that the ingredients are well mixed. Pour the mango cream into individual sherbet glasses, sprinkle each serving with some of the toasted coconut, garnish with mint, and serve.

HOMEMADE MANGO ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the mangoes, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a nonreactive bowl; let sit for 2 hours. Puree in a food processor; strain to remove any fibers.
• Using a mixer at high speed, beat egg and egg yolks until light and fluffy. Gradually add the remaining sugar, then lower the speed and add the milk, cream, and mango puree until well mixed. Chill, then pour into an ice-cream maker; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• Peel mangos and cut fruit from pit.
• Puree all ingredients except one mango in food processor.
