Tequila-Flamed Mangoes Over Vanilla Ice Cream

Directions

1. Peel mangoes with a paring knife. Standing the mango up on one end, slice the flesh from around the pit on both sides. Cut the large pieces into ½” wide wedges.
2. Heat the oven the 350 degrees. Place butter in a 13” x 9” baking dish and set in the oven. When melted (about 5 minutes), remove from the oven and add the mango slices. Sprinkle with the brown sugar and gently stir to coat the mangoes completely. Bake, shaking the dish occasionally, for 45 minutes. (Can do this step a day before you plan on serving and refrigerate. Just make sure you reheat the mangoes before flaming).
3. Just before serving, pour the tequila into a small saucepan and set over low heat—don’t let the tequila get too hot or it won’t flame. Sprinkle the mangoes evenly with granulated sugar; pour tequila over and immediately light it. When the flames subside, spoon the syrupy mangoes over ice cream.
