Carefully pierce the skin of each mango on one side. Then
use a spoon to peel the skin off. Peel both mangoes in
this way.
Scoop the flesh off in small pieces. Throw away the pit
(seed). Cut the flesh of one mango into dice and keep it
to one side.
Put the flesh of the other mango in a blender and add the
mango or orange juice. Process until smooth, for 2 to 3
minutes.
Combine the sugar and gelatin powder in a bowl. Mix well
with a wooden spoon. Add the boiling water and stir to
dissolve the gelatin and sugar.
Add the evaporated milk or cream and the blended mango
juice. Stir well until combined.
Add the ice cubes and keep stirring until the ice cubes
melt.
Using a ladle, pour the mixture into 4 small dessert
bowls. Refrigerate for 2 hours until the gelatin sets.
To serve, carefully turn the contents of each bowl onto a
plate by putting the plate face down on top of the bowl
then turning them both over. Garnish with the diced mango.
