Instructions

1. 1.
   Start by peeling the ripe mango and dicing it into small cubes. Ensure the mango is sweet and flavorful for the best results. Taste a piece before proceeding to adjust sugar if needed.
2. 2.
   In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, heavy cream, and sugar. Use a whisk to gently mix until the sugar is dissolved, and the cream begins to thicken slightly. The mixture should have a luscious and creamy consistency with visible mango pieces dispersed throughout.
3. 3.
   Add the vanilla extract to the cream and mango mixture. The vanilla will enhance the sweet floral notes of the mango. Continue to whisk softly until everything is well combined. Avoid over-whisking, which can lead to over-thickened cream.
4. 4.
   Gently fold in the lemon zest. The zest should be finely grated to ensure it distributes evenly throughout the cream. The lemon adds a refreshing, tangy contrast that balances the sweetness of the dessert.
5. 5.
   Transfer the mixture into a serving cup or bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set slightly, giving a luxurious texture. Serve chilled and enjoy your single serving of mango cream delight.
