Bowen and Kensington Pride Mangoes are a national favourite to us Aussies. This is a recipe was given to me about 12 years ago by a friend in Queensland, who has numerous mango trees. Only use fresh mangoes for this recipe. A sweet, refreshing and fragrant dessert which is best made ahead - perfect for entertaining. I always double and make two as my teenagers love these on a hot day after dinner. "Cooking time" is chilling time.

  • Step 2
    In a medium saucepan, mix and melt the water and sugar to create a syrup. Allow to cool to room temp. this will take about 60 - 90 minutes. Whip cream until soft/medium peaks form - well beaten. Reserve for later.
  • Step 3
    Well combine mango with sugar syrup. Add the lemon juice and mix again. Mix 1 cup of mango puree with the cream - combine well. Pour into the base of the lined pyrex dish. Freeze until firm.
  • Step 4
    Cover frozen creamy mango layer with remaining mango puree mixture. Freeze until firm.
  • Step 5
    To serve, remove foil from the dish and slice mango bars into 18 squares. Place in bowls and enjoy with a spoon.
  • Step 6
    This is best made the day before serving so the dessert is well frozen.
