Create Stunning Mango Flowers: Serve on a Stick in a Fancy Way!

Photo How to serve mango on a stick

The best way to enjoy a fresh mango is to place it on a stick, like a popsicle. This method, known as “mango on a stick,” is easy to serve with other fruits, simple to garnish, and mess-free to peel and eat. I learned how to cut a mango into a flower shape on YouTube; it’s a popular street food snack in Mexico, which is why I call this the “Mexican style” of serving mangoes. After trying it myself, I was impressed! Whether using small orange-colored mangoes or green-red ones, this method works great for all varieties. They can be served with lime juice and spices. In Mexico, there are special spices specifically for mango on a stick.

We need:

Mango

Stick (skewer)

Peeler

Plastic (paper) plate

Technique:

Cut the bottom of the mango (where the fruit attached to tree) . It gives stability on the plate and will be easy to fund soft spot in seed to place the skewer.

2. Place a stick inside the seed, it usually goes deep and mango stay very stable to peel.

5. Making a mango flower. I like to make the first petals very close to the top this way the mango will look more realistic like a yellow tulip. Make small cuts and push down, so petals will open up. When I was starting from the bottom, the design looked more like a cone, cute too but I like more like flower looks.

I garnish my mango flower in the photo below with shredded coconut and dry freeze-dry strawberry sprinkles, it gives this beautiful color and slightly sour taste. Green kiwi slices are just the perfect fruit to serve with mango!

We can cover it with chocolate, freeze-dry strawberry sprinkles, and shredded coconut. Our candied mango on a stick is ready!

∗Freeze-dried strawberries are sold as a snack and used in baking. I just recently learned about freeze-dried strawberries and bought them to try out. Great to use for garnish, if no fresh strawberries around!

Skewers I Used To Serve Mango On a Stick

1. The best I like call candy apple sticks, they right size to serve a mango flower and strong enough. I tried skewers for kebabs, in my opinion, to thin for mango flower, mango too heavy.

2. Sharpened on one side wooden treat sticks works great too.

Plates I Used To Serve A Mango Flower

Plastic plates what is easy to pick through. Down side when we are eating mango, they damage so easy.
Clear plastic plates from dollar store (best deal). We need to make a hole before attach skewer. Good about these plates, possible can be reusable and not damage easy. On the photo I made the hole with my templates making tool. We can use drill as well for this task.
