  • Zest and juice of 2 limes
  • ⅓ cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
  • ½ cup (4 fl oz) spiced rum or white rum
  • Splash of Angostura bitters (optional)

Tips

If you don’t have a barbecue or grill pan, caramelize the mango cheeks in a hot nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Method

Step 1

To make the Calypso® mango mojito syrup, chop the mango flesh and place into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Pour into a small saucepan, add the sugar, water, lime rind and juice and mint. Bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce heat to medium, simmer for 5 minutes. Strain into a heatproof jug. Stir in the rum and bitters, if using, Refrigerate until cold.

Step 2

Preheat a barbecue grill or stovetop grill pan over high heat (see tip).

Step 3

Slice the cheeks (flesh) off the mangoes, discarding the pits . Lightly spray the cheeks with oil, sprinkle with coconut sugar. Grill the mango cheeks, cut side down, for about 4 minutes, or until lightly charred and caramelized. Work in batches if needed. Transfer to a tray and let cool to room temperature.

Step 4

Arrange the grilled mango cheeks on plates. Top with dollops of Greek yogurt, drizzle generously with the chilled mango mojito syrup, and sprinkle with toasted coconut and fresh mint leaves.
