Ingredients used

- 250 ml (1 cup) mango purée
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) water
- 80 g granulated sugar
- 1½ limes (zest of 1 lime and juice of 1½ limes)
- 5 g salt
- 25 g honey
- 1 gelatin sheet, bloomed
- 2 ripe Champagne (Ataulfo) mangoes
- 400 ml whipping cream (35%)
- 15 g granulated sugar
- 4 Bola de Berlim (Berliner-style doughnuts), thawed
- Chamoy, to taste
- Tajín, to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
Remove the Bolas from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for 150 minutes.
- Step 2
In a saucepan, combine the mango purée, water, 80 g sugar, juice of ½ lime, salt, and honey. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Step 3
Dice part of the mangoes and combine 150 g of diced mango with 2 tablespoons of the cooled mango glaze. Spoon into small demi-sphere molds. Freeze until completely firm, about 2–3 hours.
- Step 4
Whip the cream to soft peaks. Add 15 g sugar, the zest of 1 lime, and a small amount of lime juice to taste. Continue whipping to medium peaks. Refrigerate until needed.
- Step 5
Slice the remaining mango into thin, even strips. Slightly overlap the slices and roll them gently to form rose shapes. Keep chilled until assembly.
- Step 6
Lightly brush the thawed doughnuts with the mango glaze. Using a round cutter or small knife, remove a small section from the top and hollow out a cavity.
- Step 7
Pipe lime Chantilly into the cavity. Insert a frozen mango demi-sphere into the center. Pipe additional Chantilly around the insert to secure it. Top with a mango rose.
- Step 8
Finish with a small Chantilly rosette. Drizzle with chamoy and lightly dust with Tajín.
Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of textures: soft doughnut, airy lime Chantilly, and a refreshing frozen mango center.
