<p>Perfect for a cheat weekend, this ice cream sundae pairs perfectly with the tropical taste of mango!</p>
<p><strong>Ingredients</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>3 Calypso mangoes</li>
<li>1 litre good-quality vanilla ice-cream</li>
<li>½ x 250g packet butternut snap biscuits</li>
<li>½ cup pistachios</li>
<li>½ cup shredded coconut, toasted</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Calypso mango curd</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>1 Calypso mango</li>
<li>6 egg yolks</li>
<li>¾ cup caster sugar</li>
<li>3 lemons, juiced</li>
<li>125g butter, chilled, chopped</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Directions</strong></p>
<p>1. To make the curd, cut the cheeks from the mango. Using a large spoon remove the mango fruit from the cheeks. Puree mango until smooth. You need ¾ cup. Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a 6-cup capacity heatproof, microwave-safe bowl until combined. Whisk in ½ cup lemon juice. Add the butter. Microwave, uncovered, for 6-7 minutes on Medium/50%, whisking every minute, until the curd thickens and just comes to the boil. Stir in mango puree. Cover surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours.</p>
<p>2. Spoon the ice-cream into a large bowl. Stand at room temperature for 10 minutes, or until softened slightly. Fold in 1 cup of mango curd. Spoon into a 12cm x 22cm (base) loaf pan. Cover and freeze overnight.</p>
<p>3. Process biscuits and pistachios until finely chopped. Stir in coconut. Cut the cheeks from the mangoes. Using a large spoon remove the mango fruit from the cheeks and cut into 2cm cubes.</p>
<p>4. To serve, spoon half the biscuit mixture into the base of six serving glasses. Top with scoops of ice-cream and half the mango. Repeat layers. Serve.</p>
<p><strong>Tips</strong></p>
<p>Mango curd makes 2 cups; store the remaining mango curd in a jar in the fridge for up to one month.</p>
<p>Try folding it through whipped cream and serving on top of pavlova or serve over scones, toasted waffles or toasted crumpets. </p>
