Dried mango can be found in most health- or specialty-food stores.
1/2
cup dried (2 ounces) mango
1/2
cup dark rum
1 1/2
large, very ripe mangoes, peeled and seeded
1 1/4
cups heavy cream
1/4
cup milk
2
large egg yolks
6
tablespoons sugar
1. In a medium bowl, combine dried mango and rum; set mixture aside to soak, turning occasionally, 2 hours.
2. Drain soaked mango in a colander set over a bowl. Cut mango into 1/4-inch dice, and set aside. Reserve rum for another use.
3. Cut fresh mango into large chunks, and puree in a food processor. Set aside.
4. Combine 1 cup cream and milk in a medium saucepan; bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat on high speed until pale yellow and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Whisking, pour 1/2 cup of hot cream mixture into the egg mixture. Whisking, pour this new mixture back into hot cream mixture; whisk until combined. Cook until mixture coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
