Mangoes with Rum and Vanilla Ice Cream
This recipe features ripe mango slices marinated in a mixture of dark rum, sugar, lime juice, and lime zest to impart a sweet, tangy, and slightly boozy flavor. Served chilled, either on their own or over vanilla ice cream, the dish balances tropical fruit sweetness with the depth of dark rum and bright citrus notes from lime. The mango texture remains tender yet firm after marination, making it an easy, refreshing dessert or snack.
