Spherification is the more modern process that seals a liquid in a jelly-like membrane. This recipe uses mango juice for a taste explosion surprise when bitten into. Using sodium alginate and calcium lactate mango nectar is sealed inside an edible bubble that bursts inside the mouth to a grand surprise and a delicious taste. You can hold the spherified mango ravioli in this state for several hours. They can be served cold or heated up to 300°F. However, please don’t serve them at a temperature much above 100°F.

STEP 1: Combine the mango juice and calcium lactate in a bowl using a hand blender. Pour into hemispherical or spherical molds and freeze.
STEP 2: Combine the water, sugar, and sodium alginate in a sauce pan and blend with an immersion blender. Heat until the sugar dissolves, and then strain into a bowl through a chamois sieve.
STEP 3: Fill a bowl with cool water.
STEP 4: Take the mango juice spheres out of the ice tray and place them into the alginate bath. The amount of time you leave them in will depend on how thick you want the membrane and how large the spheres are. For: • Small spheres, leave in for 2 minutes. • Medium spheres, leave in for 4 minutes. • Large spheres, leave in for 5 minutes.
STEP 5: Remove the mango raviolis from the alginate bath and place into the bowl of cool water, rinsing them gently.
