Ingredients

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into 1
  • inch cubes 8 wooden or metal skewers For the Spicy Chocolate Marinade: + 4 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped + 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk + 1 tsp ground cayenne pepper + 1/2 tsp ground coriander + 1/2 tsp ground cumin + Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate marinade by heating the almond milk in a saucepan over low heat until it is hot but not boiling. Add the chopped dark chocolate and whisk until it is completely melted and well combined with the almond milk. Stir in the cayenne pepper, coriander, cumin, and salt to taste. Thread the mango cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. Pour the spicy chocolate marinade over the skewered mangoes, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Preheat your oven's broiler and place a rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the skewered mangoes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each skewer. Broil the mango skewers for 5 7 minutes or until the chocolate is glossy and slightly crisp around the edges. Remove the skewers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
