Ingredients
- 1 large, ripe mango
- 1⁄2 cup lime juice
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup of sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 egg
- 1⁄2 cup (1 stick) cold, cubed butter
- 1 lime, to zest as garnish
Instructions
- Peel, slice, and puree the mango until smooth.
- Add mango puree, lime juice, 1⁄2 cup of sugar, and vanilla to medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until sugar is completely dissolved (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks, egg, and remaining 1⁄2 cup of sugar. Whisk together until mixture is frothy and most of the sugar is dissolved (about 2-3 minutes).
- While continuing to whisk, slowly pour a 1/3 cup of mango-lime mixture into egg mixture. Whisk for another 30 seconds and then transfer tempered egg mixture into the saucepan.
- Over medium heat, cook the mixture until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon (5-7 minutes).
- Remove saucepan from heat and add cold butter, a few cubes at a time. Make sure butter is fully incorporated before adding more.
- Strain curd through a fine mesh sieve. Refrigerate the curd for 2-4 hours before using. 8. Serve in coupe glasses with whipped cream, fresh mint and grated fresh lime zest.
- Recommend laying a layer of plastic wrap directly on top of the curd while cooling so that it does not form a skin.
