- 215g (1 cup) caster sugar
- 250ml (1 cup) water
- 160ml (2/3 cup) honey
- 520g (2 cups) Greek-style yoghurt
- 300ml pouring cream
- 3 ripe large mangoes, cheeks removed, peeled
- Olive oil spray
- 2 tbs unsalted pistachio kernels, coarsely chopped
- Honey, extra, to serve
Method
- Place the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to low and cook, without stirring, for 4 minutes or until the syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat. Stir in the honey. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside to cool.
- Add the yoghurt and cream to the sugar syrup and stir until well combined. Pour the yoghurt mixture into a square 23cm (base measurement) cake pan. Place in the freezer for 6-8 hours or until firm.
- Use a metal spoon to transfer one-quarter of the yoghurt mixture to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a sealable plastic container and place in the freezer. Repeat, in 3 more batches, with the remaining yoghurt mixture, adding each batch to the container. Cover and place in the freezer for 4 hours or until firm.
- Preheat a barbecue grill on high. Lightly spray both sides of the mango cheeks with olive oil spray. Cook for 1-2 minutes each side or until lightly charred.
- Divide the mango cheeks and gelato among serving plates. Sprinkle with the pistachios and drizzle over extra honey. Serve immediately.
