Note

Use very ripe mangoes for the best sweetness and texture.

Ensure the ice cream is scooped just before serving to prevent it from melting too quickly under the warm sauce.

When flambéing, keep a lid nearby to smother the flames if they get too high, and ensure no flammable materials are nearby.

For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and add a splash of mango juice or pineapple juice instead.
