Note: Congelar, we believe, is the Spanish word for “freeze,” when associated with food, and mango is a South American/tropical fruit; thus, the inspiration for the name of this recipe.
This
recipe is the 18th in a 21-week series, The Feast of the Ages,
developed to share our faith with our readers, realizing that as much as
we love food, our faith is an even more important and bigger part of our lives. We thought it would be fun to bring the two together.
Revelation 19:9, the Bible says, “Blessed are those who are invited to
the wedding supper of the Lamb!†The Bible refers to the church, or
the Christian body of believers, as the “bride of Christ.†The wedding
supper, or feast, represents a time of great celebration when Jesus is united with the church in heaven.
would be comfortable and very inviting. People would want to be there
because each person would be accepted for who he/she is. Each person
would be made to feel special and everyone would feel included and a
part of the activities. The fellowship and interactions between people would be real. The food
would have the freshest ingredients and the flavors would be perfect.
There would be no concern about the effects of pesticides or chemicals
used in the growing process of the food. There would be something for everyone,
and the individual taste preferences of every guest would be completely
satisfied. This is what we would anticipate the wedding supper of the
Lamb to be like.
most formal of feasts includes 21 courses. When we thought about what
the Wedding Feast of the Lamb might look like, a celebration for the
King of Kings and Lord of Lords, we thought it could definitely involve
21courses! We thought it would be fun to provide a sample 21-course
“Feast of the Ages†menu, with a different recipe a week over 21
consecutive weeks.
We offer frozen dessert for the 18th course:
- 1 package frozen mango chunks
- 1 6-ounce package frozen coconut flakes
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- sliced almonds, toasted
- Place mango, coconut, 1 cup sugar, rice wine vinegar, vanilla, and egg whites in large bowl or standing mixer and beat on low-medium speed for 20 minutes.
- After fruit has mixed for approximately 10 minutes, in a separate bowl combine coconut milk, heavy cream, 2 tablespoons sugar, and cream of tartar. Beat on high speed with a hand mixer until thickened to the consistency of yogurt. (This will take a while.)
- After 20 minutes of mixing, remove bowl from standing mixer and fold in cream mixture from step 2.
- Pour fruit into freezer-safe container and freeze overnight.
- Garnish with sliced toasted almonds.
you know you have been invited to attend the real “Feast of the Ages,â€
the Wedding Feast of the Lamb? Revelation 22:17 says, “Whoever is
thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of
the water of life.â€
