Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Mangoes — Choose ripe mangoes for the best flavor. Make sure to remove the pit and peel before pureeing.
  • Heavy cream — Use cold cream for easier whipping. Chill the mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator before whipping the cream for better results.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a tangier flavor, add a splash of mango liqueur or a squeeze of lime juice to the mango puree.
  • If you prefer a sweeter dessert, adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste.
  • Serve the syllabub with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
  • Experiment with different fruit purees, such as pineapple or passion fruit, for unique variations of this dessert.
  • To save time, you can use store-bought mango puree instead of making your own.

Serving advice

Presentation advice

For an elegant presentation, layer the syllabub with diced mangoes in a clear glass. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lemon zest for a beautiful finishing touch.
