Mango Shave Ice with Ice Cream

"Mango seasons come and go so quickly that we needed to figure out a way to store some for later, especially for guests from outside Hawaii. Freezing mangoes and shaving the juice or puree throughout the year work well for texture and presentation," says Sumiko Carroll. For this refreshing treat, you'll need a hand-cranked home shave ice grinder--look for them in stores that sell Japanese housewares. Recipe by Sumiko Carroll

• Place frozen mango puree or mango juice into the ice chamber of the shave ice grinder. Shave the puree into a bowl. Top with a scoop of ice cream, then top with more shaved puree. Garnish with dried mango slices and mint, if desired.
• To make mango puree: Peel ripe mango and remove all the flesh from the seed. Place the mango in a blender and puree. Add a little lemon juice, if desired. Measure 1 or 2 cup portions of the puree into a plastic bag or container. Seal and freeze.
