Four easy ways to slice the fruit for mango desserts

MANGO HEDGEHOG

  1. Place your mango stem end down on a chopping board. With the knife slightly to the right of the center, slice down through the mango. You now have a cheek!

  2. Using the tip of a sharp knife, slice parallel lines into the mango flesh, then turn the mango 90° and slice more parallel lines, so you create a checkerboard effect.

  3. Next, push the mango skin to turn the mango ‘inside out’ and voila! You’ve now created a mango hedgehog.

  2. Using a large spoon, scoop the flesh out from the skin to create mango chunks – perfect to add to a fresh summer salad or to freeze for the winter months.

  1. Repeat steps 1-2 of the ‘mango hedgehog’ instructions.

  2. Using a small glass, slide the mango cheek down the rim of the glass so it separates the skin on the outside and the flesh on the inside! You will now have a whole mango cheek – watch the video below to see it in action!

MANGO FLOWER

  1. Using a sharp knife or peeler, remove the skin from the mango flesh.

  2. Place the peeled mango on a skewer or stick

  3. Working your way around the mango, use a sharp knife to slice ‘petal’ chunks away from the fruit, careful not to slice the petals off.

  4. Repeat step 3 from the outside-in, so your mango is now comprised of petals.

  5. Now you can eat directly from the stick! (Add salt and chilli flakes for extra flavour!).
