Hab/mango Ice Cream

Yield: 1 Servings

Ingredients and directions for this recipe

1 Container Haagen-Daaz
-vanilla ice cream
1 Very ripe mango
1 Hab (no seeds!)

This weekend I got my first fresh habs from Sainsburys. Surprisingly
enough they were grown in Jamaica - so doesn't that make them scotch
bonnets? Funnily enough, the flesh is very mild and sweet - however, the
placenta and the seeds are of neutorn bomb intensity - but, like preparing
Fugu, if you were to trim carefully, one could make some acceptable
rellenos out of them providing one carefully sculpted out the seeds &
placenta without 'contaminating' the flesh. I know, it seems a waste to use
a hab in this way, but some of us are just too wimpy to take the full force
of the chile. So - I realised early on in my chile appreciation days that
the chance of coordinating fresh habs and a ripe mango were slim. All
mangos are sold underipe mainly, and habs are very thin on the ground here
in the UK - But this time it happened and I picked up a very ripe and
fragrant mango which coincided well with the habs I found.

I used a tub of Haagen-Daaz vanilla, mixed the mango and one hab (no
seeds!) with it - refroze and produced probably the most interesting ice
cream I have ever tasted (except for the unroasted coffee bean ice cream I
tried once). I really recommend this recipe - it is quite a gustatory
experience - talk about mixed messages!
