Mango passionfruit icecream

How to make a Frozen Mango Ice Cream Cake

I think the first time I ever really tasted tropical fruit was overseas. The 7 hour flight to Dempasar was spent drinking and smoking up the back of the plane with the air stewards. Smoking was allowed, and plying customers with alcohol was also allowed, back then on my first trip to another country.

The plane touched the tarmac and we were incredibly excited and very drunk. As we reached the cabin door the full force of the hot tropical air hit us and I could almost feel my knees buckle with the weight of  humidity. We could have been descending Mount Everest for all I knew, the stairs were so steep, we stumbled onto that tarmac and were accosted by gravity. We sat on the step just outside the terminal building to assess our state.  No one moved us on and we cursed the heat in expansive gestures, laughing uproariously and feeling pinned to the ground by our intoxication and the feel of that incredible heat. To this day the smell of clove cigarettes and the first hot blast of tropical summer air take me back to Bali. We were ushered inside by staff and felt much clearer in the air conditioning  which of course was fortunately as the fun was just beginning, we had to haggle with Bemo(taxi) drivers.

At breakfast the next day, I had an embarrassing moustache of beady sweat, and a nasty hang over. Together we figured that we should redeem our selves and eat fruit salad and a smoothie for breakfast. That’s when it happened…..I tried tropical fruit,  real tropical fruit. Not a yellow piece of banana or an orange fleshed mango but banana that that had a silky texture and a sweetness I had never experienced, not floury and tasteless but warm and sweet and just picked. Mango, oh mango was a revelation, never touched by a fridge  so sweet and tangy and Papaya so orange and fat and juicy, and the sweetest exotic, tropical flavour I had ever tried. I could not get enough.  My first big adventure had begun.

This Mango and Passionfruit  Ice Cream cake takes me back to my first real tropical experience.

This recipe is made in a blender. I am using a Vitamix, which  I love. It blends to a smooth lushious puree.  You can use a food processor if you dont have a blender. It will still be fantastic , just not as smooth.
