    peeled
  • 1 orange

Method

  • step 1

    Add the mango, turmeric, orange juice, caster sugar and arrowroot to a blender and blitz until completely smooth. Scrape into a small saucepan and set over a medium heat. Bring to the boil, stirring continuously and allow to thicken for 1-2 minutes. Pour into a bowl and press a layer of clingfilm to the surface to stop a skin forming. Allow to cool completely and chill in the fridge for a few hours, or overnight. At the same time, put the carton of coconut cream in the fridge – it whips better if it’s cold.

  • step 2

    Empty the coconut cream into a mixing bowl and add the icing sugar. Whisk with an electric whisk for 3-4 minutes until the coconut holds soft peaks. You can also do this in a food mixer with the whisk attachment.

  • step 3

    Take 4 small glasses (small tumblers or generous sherry glasses are ideal) and spoon a little mango sauce in the bases, top with little coconut cream, then continue layering up until you’ve used both mixtures. Scatter over a few coconut flakes and chill for another hour before serving.
