Fresh Mango Soup with Mascarpone and Spekkoek Chips

Ingredients

Ingredients – Mango Soup

• 300 g mango

• 150 ml water

• Juice of 2 limes

Additional Ingredients

• 200 g mascarpone

• 80 g spekkoek (Indonesian layered cake)

• Zest of 1 lime

• 10 g freeze-dried fruit (e.g. raspberry or mango, available at most supermarkets)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 80°C .

2. Slice the spekkoek into 8 very thin slices.

3. Place the slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and dry them in the oven for 1.5 hours.
   (Open the oven door occasionally to let moisture escape.)

4. Allow the slices to cool completely — they will become crispy like chips.

5. Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients for the mango soup in a blender until smooth.

6. Press the mixture through a fine sieve and chill in the refrigerator.

7. In a bowl, combine the lime zest with the mascarpone.

8. Use a spoon to shape small quenelles (oval scoops) of mascarpone and place them in serving bowls.

9. Pour the chilled mango soup into the bowls until the mascarpone is half submerged.

10. Crumble the freeze-dried fruit and sprinkle it over the soup.

11. Finally, place two spekkoek chips into each bowl for garnish.
