Ingredients

2 Mangos freshly ripe or frozen
1 tablespoon (15 g) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon (14 g) lemon juice

Instructions

Prepare the mango. Peel the mango and slice off the two sides of the seed. If you are using frozen mangos, you can skip to the next step.
Reduce the mango. In a small saucepan, place the mangos, sugar, and lemon juice and simmer on medium-low until the mangos soften and reduce into a juice and occasionally stir to prevent burning. About 10-15 minutes. The mangos are done cooking when you press onto the mangos and they can be easily smashed like mashed potatoes.
Blend the mango. Pour the reduced mango into a blender and blend until smooth. You can alternatively use an immersion blender. This will result in a thick sauce. If the mango sauce is too thick, blend in 1-2 tablespoons of water.
(Optional) For an even smoother sauce, strain the mango puree over a fine-mesh sieve to remove any leftover fibers. Using a rubber spatula gently press the mango sauce through the sieve.
Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

This recipe should yield about 1/2 cup of mango coulis.
For frozen mangos, you can immediately place the frozen mangos in the saucepan with 1-2 tablespoons of water to help the mangos thaw quicker and prevent them from burning.
The reducing times may vary depending on your mangos. A soft super ripe mango will reduce much quicker than a less ripe harder mango. This will require you to watch the mango closely. You can blend the mangos when the mangos have reduced a significant amount and when you press on the mangos it should turn into a puree.
The amount of sugar and lemon juice will be up to you. Add more sugar if your mangos are not as sweet as you prefer and similarly, add more lemon juice if the coulis is overly sweet. This will require you to trust your tastebuds.
Storage Instructions: You can store this mango coulis in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Alternatively, you can freeze this mango coulis in an airtight container or in an ice tray to make cubes for up to 3 months.
