Mangoes are ample in Miami in late spring and early summer time, and author Dinkinish O’Connor likes to soak hers in rum, brown sugar, and warming spices like cinnamon, clove, and Jamaican pimento (allspice) earlier than serving atop ice cream. This recipe is impressed by her good friend, Sandy Dorsainvil, the Haitian American proprietor of Miami-based rum model L’Heritage Rhum. The addition of evaporated milk is a nod to O’Connor’s Jamaican mom, who all the time had an open can within the fridge when O’Connor was rising up, utilizing it to stir into her Jamaican cocoa tea or porridge. The spiced mango slices make for a candy and boozy topping for ice cream; O’Connor’s really helpful flavors embrace pistachio, passionfruit, black sapote, darkish chocolate, and hazelnut.
