Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (1/2-inch) cinnamon stick
  • 3 mangos, peeled, thickly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup rum

Instructions

  1. Put water, half the sugar and cinnamon stick into a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally or until syrup thickens.
  2. Add mango slices to syrup and simmer 5 to 10 minutes or until barely tender. Remove cinnamon stick and add vanilla extract. Transfer to a serving dish and let cool. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
  3. Whip together cream and remaining sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in rum.
  4. Serve in a separate bowl to accompany mangoes, or arrange mangos in pinwheel-fashion on individual serving plates, pipe whipped cream into center and garnish with a mint sprig.
