INGREDIENTS:
1 ripe Mexican mango 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries 1/4 cup sugar
1 pint vanilla ice cream or coconut sorbet optional garnish: toasted almonds, additional raspberries



1 On a board hold the mango with one of the narrower sides facing up. Starting 1/4-inch from the stem, slice along each side of the pit to cut off the "cheeks." With a knife, carve out the flesh in a single piece, cutting as close to the skin as possible. Cut each mango cheek into 10 slices. Peel center section of mango. Cut off the remaining fruit; place in a blender.
2 Add raspberries and sugar to mango in blender; whirl until smooth. On each of 4 dessert plates arrange 5 slices of mango in a fan pattern. Top with 1 scoop of ice cream and mango-raspberry sauce. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and raspberries, if desired.
