Ingredients of Valentines Mango ice cream bombes

1 large ripe mango

180g (1 cup) reduced-fat vanilla ice-cream, softened slightly

180g (1 cup) reduced-fat mango frozen dessert, softened slightly

Preparation of Valentines Mango ice cream bombes

Line the base and sides of two 250ml (1-cup) capacity muffin holes with plastic wrap, allowing the plastic to hang over the sides (get as many creases out of the plastic wrap as possible).

Use a small sharp knife to cut the cheeks from the mango and carefully peel away the skin. Use a 5cm heart-shaped pastry cutter to cut 1 heart from each mango cheek. Place 1 mango heart in the base of each muffin hole.

Finely chop remaining mango flesh. Place chopped mango in a medium bowl. Add the ice-cream and frozen dessert and combine. Spoon ice-cream mixture into prepared muffin holes and smooth the surface with the back of the spoon. Fold over excess plastic wrap to cover ice-cream mixture. Place in the freezer for 4 hours or overnight until set.

Remove ice-cream bombes from the freezer. Using the plastic wrap as a guide, carefully lift the bombes from the holes. Turn the bombes onto a plate (heart-side up) and peel away the plastic wrap. Place bombes in the freezer for 1 hour.

Remove the ice-cream bombes from the freezer 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
