Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Ripe mangoes
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 5 fresh Mint leaves
- 1 cup Crushed graham crackers
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the seed. Dice one mango and set aside for garnish. Slice the remaining mango and place in a blender.
To the blender, add 1 tablespoon of sugar and lemon juice. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Reserve this mango puree.
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the cream mixture until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
Prepare your serving glasses by layering 2 tablespoons of crushed graham crackers at the bottom of each glass.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of mango puree over the graham crackers, ensuring an even layer.
Next, spoon an equal amount of whipped cream layer over the mango puree.
Repeat with another layer of graham crackers, mango puree, and whipped cream until you reach the rim of the glass.
Top each parfait with a few pieces of diced mango and a mint leaf for garnish.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the parfait to set slightly.
