   Place 1 mango in a blender or bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth.
2. 2
   Finely chop the remaining mango.
3. 3

   Whisking constantly, slowly pour about a quarter of the hot cream mixture into the eggs to temper.
9. 9
   Continuing to whisk, slowly pour in the remaining cream mixture, then transfer the custard back to the saucepan and place over low heat.
10. 10
    Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat, until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
