Treat your ingredients with care...

• Mangoes — Choose ripe mangoes for the best flavor and texture. Make sure to remove any fibrous strands before pureeing.
• Coconut milk — Use full-fat coconut milk for a rich and creamy texture in the soufflé.
• Lime juice — Freshly squeezed lime juice adds a tangy brightness to the dessert.

Tips & Tricks

• Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites, as they can become dry and lose their volume.
• Serve the soufflés immediately after baking, as they will deflate quickly.
• Dust the tops of the soufflés with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
• For added crunch, sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes on top before serving.
• Pair the Mango Soufflé with a scoop of coconut or passion fruit sorbet for a truly tropical dessert experience.

Serving advice

Serve the Caribbean Mango Soufflé warm, straight from the oven, to fully enjoy its light and fluffy texture. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of fresh mango for an elegant presentation.

Presentation advice

To create an eye-catching presentation, serve the Mango Soufflé in individual ramekins placed on a decorative plate. Dust the plate with powdered sugar and garnish with edible flowers or tropical fruit slices for a vibrant and enticing display.
