Simplest recipes to use up Mango pulp

Hi,

I have some 400 to 500 g of Mango pulp in a tin that I need to use.

I'm more or less terrible at cooking.

Anyone has extremely simple uses for it? Yesterday I just mixed some with water to make mango juice, but I don't think I can chug down all of it that way.

Then I used up a bit more by mixing it with cooked maize (corn) flour + milk, but I ran out of maize flour.

What else can I do? Smoothie by mixing it with milk? Trying something with regular flour? Something else?

I don't have a specific recipe, but when I lived in West Africa, we had several mango trees in our yard, and one of our friends would make a delicious mango sorbet with a hint of mint.

She didn't have an ice-cream maker, so I guess it could also be an option for you?

Pour pulp from tin into bowl, mix with ice cream, add spoon and eat ...... simple enough?

4
Buy some pastry and make mango empanadas.

5
That is my kind of skill level, yes

However I'm not sure if it is a good idea to eat half a kilo of mango pulp + ice cream. I'll probably go ahead and eat some of it that way, adding ice cream to the shopping list then...

My brother in law, who is a chef, makes mango salsa as a side dish with barbecued meats. He mixes it with coriander and (to be honest I'm not sure what else), but I think salt and pepper, maybe onion. And very good it is too!

7
Just mix it with some other fruits: banana, orange, ... and you have a delicious smoothie!

8
Mix with greek yogurt and freeze for ice-cream.

I certainly wouldn't travel far from home after eating this, if I were you....

My money is on the sorbet. You might need to have a mango party to get through it all. This recipe looks good: http://thaifood.about.com/od/thaides...angosorbet.htm

Enjoy

Mango pulp in a blender with milk and tequila, perhaps gin would work as well, tall glass, ice, straw and a little paper umbrella.

13
Better keep a bucket handy.

14
Pour it into an ice cube tray. Once frozen, put the cubes in an air tight container, and just add a few vibes to summer drinks or smoothies.

Personally, I have mango-coconut jelly on my to-do list...

Actually it ́s quite nice, my very own recipes, I call it "The Slammer!"

Hey,

I just bought some thick cream, and mixed it with the pulp with a stick-blender. Two cups in the freezer. Most in the fridge and had it at dinner, was thick enough to eat with a spoon, tasty and refreshing. Maybe will do it again.

The ones that should turn into some kind of mango ice cream I will eat later and will say how it went.

If you have extra mango pulp in the future, it can be dried in the sun or at a low heat in the oven to make a leather which will last a long time. No need for sugar or any other ingredients.

Good tips on the thread, thanks everyone.

I had one of the ice cream "cups" I made and it was tasty (which is no surprise, given that I had taken a non-frozen version of it - tasted more or less the same).

That said, it was a bit brittle, not as creamy as "regular" ice-cream. Don't know what else the pros mix in.

But I'm very satisfied with the pulp + cream, blend and cool down option I took this time.

- Make a mango-basil sauce for porc meat (thin slices in the pan with ketjap manis at the end)

- make a mango-carott-mint soup (put a bit of sour cream, strong pepper)

- give it to a cat in your neighborhood.

What about mango lassi?

Mango pulp, yogurt, sugar mixed with a blender.

Plus ice and some cardamom for extra bite.
