Instructions
Almond cream: Blend almonds, sugar and vanilla seeds until smooth. Add butter and egg. Blend quickly. Pour the mixture into a bowl and combine with the flour.
Melt the butter in a saucepan at strong heat without browning. Fry the mango slices for 3 min. Distribute the fried mango into 4 small ovenproof moulds (approx. 12 cm / 4¾“ diam.) and cover the fruit with almond cream. Bake the desserts on a baking tray in the middle of the oven until the “almond lid” is firm and golden.
Serve the dessert warm with ice-cold whipped cream.
