Tips:

  • Choose ripe mangoes: Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma. Avoid mangoes that are too hard or have bruises or blemishes.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you to easily cut the mangoes without crushing them.
  • Be careful when slicing the mangoes: Mangoes have a large pit in the center, so be careful not to cut into it. To avoid this, slice the mangoes lengthwise around the pit.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Don't limit yourself to just mangoes. You can use other fruits such as strawberries, bananas, pineapples, and grapes.
  • Add some spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom can add a warm and exotic flavor to your flambe.
  • Be careful when flambéing: Flambéing is a fun and dramatic way to finish your dish, but it's important to be careful. Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby in case of an accident.

Mangoes flambé is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, and it can be prepared in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give mango flambé a try. You won't be disappointed!
