Mango Crepes :: Chef’s Secret Recipe for Top 5 Mango Desserts
Presenting the best mango dessert: Mango Crepes! This recipe features an abundance of fresh mango for a delightful, cool, and sweet treat.
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango
- 1 cup pancake mix
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the crepe batter for thin and delicious crepes. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of pancake mix, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup of water. Whisk until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. The batter should be thinner than pancake batter, but not too runny. Whisking with a balloon whisk will give you a smooth consistency.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to cook the thin crepes. Lightly grease a preheated non-stick pan over medium-low heat with a bit of cooking oil, then wipe it thinly with a paper towel. This prevents the crepe from sticking and ensures a beautiful golden-brown finish. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour the batter into the center of the pan. Quickly tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter as thinly and evenly as possible into a round shape. The thinner the crepe, the more delicate and tasty it will be.
Step 3
When the edges of the crepe begin to set and bubbles appear on the surface, it’s time to flip. Gently slide a spatula underneath and carefully flip the crepe. Cook the other side until it’s also golden brown. Once both sides are cooked, transfer the crepe to a plate.
Step 4
Let’s prepare the sweet mango filling. Peel a ripe mango, remove the pit, and slice it into approximately 1 cm thick pieces. You can scoop out the flesh with a fork, avoiding the pit, or carefully slice it off with a knife. The fresh and sweet mango pieces will elevate the flavor of your crepes.
Step 5
Now, let’s assemble the mango crepes. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap flat on your clean work surface. Place a cooked crepe on top. Using a spoon or spatula, spread a thin, even layer of whipped cream over the crepe. Be careful not to spread too much, as it might ooze out when rolled.
Step 6
Arrange the prepared mango slices lengthwise over the whipped cream. Try to place them in the center rather than too close to one edge, which will make rolling easier. Then, use the plastic wrap to help you roll the crepe up tightly. The plastic wrap will guide and hold the filling securely.
Step 7
To ensure your mango crepe doesn’t unroll, it’s crucial to wrap it tightly with the plastic wrap! Hold both ends of the plastic wrap and roll the crepe, pressing firmly to compact it. This technique is similar to rolling sushi or a wrap, ensuring a neat and compact final shape.
Step 8
The tightly wrapped mango crepes are delicious as they are, but for an even cooler and chewier texture, place them in the freezer for about 1 to 2 hours to allow the cream to set. Once firm, remove the plastic wrap, slice the mango crepes into desired portions, and enjoy your delightful dessert!
