• 8 you can serve this with julienned strips of mango over the top of each serving and/or a bit of freshly-grated ginger [microplane graters and zesters are the best for grating ginger].
• 9 note: this should be served the same day it is made so that it doesn't get too hard. you can scoop it out into the serving bowls a little ahead of time and leave in the refrigerator so the consistency can be gooey but firm. chefs for the royal family shape the ice cream with 2 spoons into oval shapes.
