View source for Champagne Mangos with Raspberry Coulis and Cardamom Shortbread


== Description ==
.
=== Ingredients ===
* 	2 cups fresh [[raspberries]]
* 	2 to 4 teaspoons [[Raw Sugar Simple Syrup]]
* 	2 Champagne [[mango]]s, or one large regular [[mango]], cut from the pit, peeled and sliced
* 	Four 4-by-3&nbsp;inch [[Cardamom Shortbread Cookies]]
* 	4 tablespoons raw cane [[Granulated sugar|Sugar]]
== Procedures ==
Put the [[raspberries]] in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Slowly add the [[simple syrup]] to taste, depending on the sweetness of the [[raspberries]]. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.



Slice the [[mango]] halves into fans.



Lay the cookies on a broiler pan. Set the fans of top of each cookie and sprinkle each with one tablespoon raw [[Granulated sugar|Sugar]]. With a small blowtorch, caramelize the [[Granulated sugar|Sugar]]. If you don't have a blowtorch, slice the broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 3&nbsp;inches from the heat source to caramelize. Either way, watch the [[Granulated sugar|Sugar]] closely; it will caramelize in about one minute.



Place each cookie on a dessert plate. Drizzle the [[raspberry]] coulis around the cookie on the plate.



Recommended technique: [[mango]]s are messy to work with, and it may take some practice before you can successfully halve or quarter them. Each [[mango]] has two flattened "faces," front and back. Cut off the fruit of one face straight down next to the large flat seed. Cut off the other face of the fruit, peel away the skin and cut off the fruit on the bottom, top and sides. Fan or dice the [[mango]].
