Cooking steps

1

Peel the mangoes, slice the flesh away from the pits, and cut into thick wedges for even caramelization.
2

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, ensuring it's fully melted but not browned.
3

Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt, stirring until bubbling; add the mango wedges, turning gently to coat and cook for 2–3 minutes until the fruit softens and begins to caramelize.
4

Pour in lime juice and, using a spoon, baste the mangoes for another minute; raise the heat slightly just before flambéing.
5

Remove the skillet from direct heat, pour in dark rum, and carefully ignite using a long match or lighter; allow the flame to subside naturally, swirling the pan gently to coat the fruit.
6

Serve immediately: divide mangoes and sauce over scoops of vanilla ice cream for each serving.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The standout ingredient is ripe mangoes—their natural sweetness and juicy texture form the heart of Mangos Flameados. When caramelized and paired with rum and cinnamon, the mangoes become the main attraction of the dish.

Q. How do you achieve the perfect caramelization of the mangoes?

For ideal caramelization, slice the mangoes thickly and coat them completely in melted butter and brown sugar over medium heat. It's important to cook them just until they soften and the sugar bubbles, then baste with lime juice. Avoid using high heat that could scorch the sugar or over-soften the fruit.

Q. How can I prevent the mangoes from getting mushy during flambéing?

To keep the mangoes from becoming mushy, use ripe but slightly firm fruit and cook them quickly over medium heat—no more than 2–3 minutes per side before flambéing. Handle them gently when turning, and let the flames subside naturally for best results.
