Grilled mango

This dessert is super simple and perfect for a light after dinner treat. We love cooking the mango on the barbecue hotplate on a warm evening. The toasted coconut goes really well with the sweet mango flesh that gets deliciously caramelised. Coconut ice cream is perfect with this dessert but feel free to use vanilla if you cannot find coconut-flavoured icecream in your local supermarket.
