The Blog Monster Strikes Again - Mango Jubilee
Just a quick note to let you know I’ve been banned from my own kitchen as the Blog Monster has officially taken over kitchen duties. “Trissa, you watch and take pictures while I cook” she told me. As many of you would probably agree, being prohibited from cooking in your own kitchen is cause for distress and a major protest! However, when the Blog Monster said she was making Mango Jubilee… I gladly caved in.
The Blog Monster's Mango Jubilee
This deliciously simply dessert consists of a scoop of ice cream topped with a mango-caramel like sauce, and finally flamed with some brandy. Imagine spoonfuls of creamy and cold ice cream topped with a warm mango sauce – if Blog Monster made desserts like this every day – I would gladly give up my kitchen for it!
Also, an apology before the recipe. There’s been a big heatwave that hit Sydney this week. With temperatures hitting as high as 35c (around 95F), it’s been impossible to photograph the mango jubilee “properly”. There were five servings of this mango jubilee that were made before we could take a half decent picture. Luckily, there was no shortage of takers for the servings that were “un-fit” for the photo!
Mango Jubilee
Recipe
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter
- splash of brandy
- 2 scoops of best quality vanilla ice cream
- Slice the mango in the middle of the flat seed so you have two halves. Scoop out the flesh using a melon baller.
- When you can’t make any more balls, scoop out the rest of the flesh with a spoon and it up using a fork or a hand blender.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the sugar. Cook until the sugar has dissolved. Add the pureed mango and cook for another 2 minutes over a low heat. Add the mango balls and cook another 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Place a scoop of ice cream in a heat proof container and add the mango puree and balls.
- Place your brandy in a metal soup laddle and heat over a gas stove top. When the flame has ignited, carefully pour the flame over the mango mixture.
Ripe mangoes, vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and brandy - definitely cause to celebrate!

Blimey!
Drooling like crazy here in the cold…
Trissa, belated Happy New Year!
Oh gosh, once again, your lightning has struck me again. These photographs (including the others) are soo amazing! Thanks for sharing this recipe, last time I tried some mango drink was a long time ago.
My one n only grandson loved the delicious combination of the mangoes and the vanilla ice cream. Incidentally I ll have my second grandchild this July… Can t wait. I ll be cooking for 11 when I visit with my family in Balmain… Family growing????huh….
feed the kid with booze, start when they are young! HAHAHA… it looks so delicious though… anything flambe, i am there!
That look like mango smoothies, even more tasteful! Very refreshing in hot weather….Yum…
Yeah, taking photos in recent days was very daunting, esp. for those with ice cream. The temperature was very high here too. I had to take the ice cream inside my room with air-conditioning on.
Superb again, Trissa!
Yum!
By the way, The Blog Monster is welcome in my kitchen anytime!
I would love your monster to invade my kitchen =) This looks awesome!
Looks simple and just mouth-watering. I don’t mind to have it in this freezing weather…mmm
Shooting ice cream can be a real pain, especially if it’s one with a low melting point.
The mango jubilee looks great. Has your mother aka the blog monster thought about branching out and having her own blog?
Heavenly – mangoes and icecream! It feels like a furnace in my house at present.
Mari I’m so glad you’ve started to post your delicious recipes on Trissa’s blog. The pictures bring me back to the glorious meals you used to cook for us.
Mwah!

I LOVE the blog monster & this gorgeous mango jubilee! CANNOT wait for summer to arrive…I can make this an infinte times.YUM!! Well done Triss!! Love it!
Oh YUM. This is super WOW. Mangoes, ice cream and some brandy, YES please.
Hi Blog Monster Mom! This looks fabulous!
Laura
Oh! Perfect perfect perfect! I must get more mangoes this weekend.
Haha! That made my day Trissa – your mom is so cute =D. This sounds very very yummy.
I was looking forward to this recipe ever since you told me about it!! It didn’t disappoint. Perfect dessert for the current heat wave.
hehe i would totally steal your blog monster! hehe your mum is so awesome
Oh wow – I have just started drooling at my desk!! That looks amazing.. I had mango for lunch yesterday but it looks so boring compared to the Blog Monster’s one!! I love that you call your Mum that!! 🙂
I’ll gladly let anyone take over my kitchen for that too! love mangoes!
My housemate and I are happy to be banned from the kitchen if the Blog Monster wants to see sunny Perth 😉
By the way, it’s VERY COLD here, in the teens and oven zero F degrees (you know, the temperature in your freezer).
Love the flaming picure! You’re getting really good!
Omg, that is so calling my name! I love mango treats! I can imagine it being a massive pain trying to photograph it. Next time, I’ll gladly help out with the un-fit for photo ones 😉
I wouldn’t mind having your “Blog monster” in my kitchen for a while preparing such yummy recipes! 🙂 Love the first picture.
Trissa, what an incredible dessert!!! Looks too good o eat! Wheres my invite for your next parrrty? :))
WOW! I will be making this…
Hehe, your mother sounds fun, just like you! My mum sometimes says ‘Don’t touch, just watch’, and I go ‘Yes, mum’, though I feel like screaming. Lucky you have a gorgeous, melty mango jubilee at the end of it. Can you get Philippine mangoes in Aust?
Trissa, now that is just unfair to do that to a sad sad person who is trying to lose weight and is surviving on celery stalks and dry bread (which is ofcourse not really true, but ok, just to paint the picture. I literally started drooling when looking at your photos!! It loooks delicious!
Oh my gosh, that photo with the glass that is oozing and overflowing looks so tempting! I love the sound of that combination, so perfect for this stinking hot weather! Haha I wouldn’t mind letting your Mum take over my kitchen either if she was making these!
I forgot about Mango Jubilee. That is an awesome dessert!! And I am jealous of your 95F temperature. I will take that any day to our 25F!
A great time of year to use mango; I have two sitting in my fridge right now. So simple and yet so delicious. Great recipe.
Tell you mom she can gladly kick me out of my kitchen anytime! This looks divine.
This is such a grand recipe! I love mango’s and this looks like something right up my alley if it were hot here 😦 I’m so envious of your heat wave… i much prefer that over the bitter cold! I’m bookmarking this and coming back to it in the next couple of months (probably longer since i’m in london!!!)
I looooveee mangoes!!!! :))) these days I get the fresh canned puree imported from India :D..
Btw is that your son?
wow this is some serious foodporn
Tita Mari, i’m so happy that you are learning to “BLOG”. I check Trissa’s blog everyday. The recipes are to die for… See you soon!
Bettina
The blog monster can usurp my place in the kitchen any day, Trissa! Please tell her that! ;P And 35C is crazy hot. How you even managed that shot is a wonder. I would have just devoured that mango goodness and forget about snapping pics! 😉
Ah-mazing! The second photo, with the ice cream just oozing over and down the side of the glass, just begs to be slurped up. If your mom continues to make these delicious treats, I say hand over the blog reins for a while and enjoy it! 😎
It’s frigid winter temps here so this bit of yumminess will have to wait for warmer weather. Hurry up, summer!
This is my type of dessert!!
When can I come over for dessert!!
P.s. Your nephew is gorgeous.
I have the perfect climate for keeping your Jubilees COLD:) Except..then you have to be able to like the cold even the Jubilees have been photoed:)
I love the way yours look and someone looks like he adores the way they taste..I still envy you and your maman in the kitchen:)
If someone were making this in my kitchen and told me to get out. I would listen. It looks amazing! I adore mangoes. Totally bookmarking this.
You’re very lucky to have a mother who creates great food, but who also enjoys the process =) And how cool is the fact that she indulges the purpose of your blog!
Yum…this looks sensational!
trissa i wonder if anyone else benefits from all these yummy things you’ve been making aside from ben. haha. miss you all from manila
Ooooh yum. I am definitely making this tomorrow for dessert, with rum instead (non-brandy drinkers), I think it’ll still ignite right? Alcohol is alcohol 🙂 Love what the BM is doing but can understand the frustration ;P
I will be making this in summertime when there are plenty of fresh mangoes at the multi cultural market!
Thanks for sharing, Trissa!
trissa, pls tell blog monster (aka “mom”) this looks so goooddd!!! with this heat at the moment…ahhh wish i also have a blog monster taking over my kitchen…lol!
My grandson Benjamin devoured the mango jubilee. I thought the Philippine mangoes were the best…. It has a competition now with the Aussie mangoes…delish… I can tell you.
What can I say? We had the best time helping Tris set up for the photo shoot, I think you can all see why 🙂
Thanks BM! You too, Tris!
I am making this for sure. What a perfect treat for a hot hot summer. Check out your nephew. He can’t get enough. Ehhh. All hail the blog
monster. We love her.
I just have a feeling that your mum is going to start out her own food blog… lol… the mango jubilee looks absolutely mouth watering.
yum yum yum yum yuuuuum!!!!!!!!!! i’ve been making mango smoothies like there’s no tomorrow because of this wretched heatwave but adding some brandy definitely ups the ante!
OMG Looks so delish and so simple to make
