How to:

Make chocolate decorations

Gently melt dark chocolate over a low heat or in a double boiler. Spoon the melted chocolate into a piping bag with a small nozzle. Pipe a circle onto lightly greased baking paper and fill it in with chocolate scrolls.

Refrigerate to set before removing carefully from the baking paper. Use to give a flourish to festive desserts or as tempting Christmas ornaments.

Recipe by: Abigail Donnelly
Serves: 4
Category: Vegetarian / Easy / Great value / Kid-friendly
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
100 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
6 slices fruit bread, crumbled
100 g raw pistachios, shelled and finely chopped
3 T brown sugar
4 ripe mangoes
Greek yoghurt, for serving
Cooking instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate, fruit bread, half the pistachio and the brown sugar. Scatter over a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes. Slice fat cheeks from each of the mangoes, then cut a crisscross pattern into the flesh and push the skin outwards so that the pulp "pops" out. Serve with a good dollop of yoghurt and scatter with the baked chocolate crunch and remaining pistachio.

Cook’s note: Chopped almonds or hazelnuts will add further decadence to this meal.

TASTE’s take:

A symbol of life and eternal bliss, the mango has moved from its third-world background to its rightful place as the world’s most luscious of fruits, with a versatile, exotic taste that holds its own in a variety of recipes. A moreish way to serve mango, this dish makes for a decadent breakfast treat.
