Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh mango puree
  • 1.5 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • 2 cups filtered water
  • 1 tablespoon agar-agar powder
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Method
 

  1. Prepare the fruit: Peel the mangoes and blend the flesh until completely smooth. Set aside.
  2. Pit the cherries and cut them into halves.
  3. Bloom the agar-agar: Place the filtered water in your saucepan and sprinkle the agar-agar powder over the surface. Let it sit for about five minutes.
  4. Heats the mixture: Turn the heat to medium and bring the water to a gentle boil, whisking constantly until the agar-agar dissolves completely.
  5. Incorporate sweeteners and flavors: Stir in the maple syrup, lime juice, and vanilla bean paste.
  6. Combine with mango: Slowly pour the mango puree into the hot liquid, whisking vigorously.
  7. Assemble the layers: Arrange the cherry pieces at the bottom of your mold or glass dish and pour the mango mixture over the cherries.
  8. Chill and set: Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for fifteen minutes, then refrigerate for at least two hours until firm.

Notes

For a softer set, reduce the agar-agar by a quarter teaspoon. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
