  • 2 large firm mangoes
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. Brush the flesh of the mangoes with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with brown sugar.
  4. Place the mangoes flesh-side down on the grill for 3 to 5 minutes until grill marks appear and the sugar caramelizes.
  5. Remove from the grill and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream right on top.
