450 - 500gramsblueberrieswashed
2largemangoespeeled and sliced
1tablespooncornstarch
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1tablespoonmaple syrup, optional(only needed if your mangoes are not that sweet)

2tablespoonsdesiccated coconut
2tablespoondate sugar or sweetener of your choice
3tablespoonsalmond milkor milk of your choice
Grated zest from 1/2 a lemon
Ingredients for the ice cream:
3largemangoespeeled and diced
2 cupsalmond milkor milk of your choice
1/2teaspoonguar gum
Instructions
Putting the cobbler together:
Turn on your oven and set it to 400º F/ 200º C.
In a bowl, mix the blueberries with the mangoes, vanilla, cornstarch and maple syrup, if using. Transfer to an oven proof dish and set aside.
In the same bowl, mix the oats with the almond flour, coconut, date sugar, lemon zest and almond milk. Spread this mix evenly over the fruit in the oven proof dish.
Cover and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the lid and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the toppings are lightly browned.
To make the ice cream:
Add the diced mango and the milk to a blender and blend until completely smooth. If your mangoes are not 100% ripe and very sweet you can add a tablespoon or two of sweetener of your choice.
Add the guar gum and blend once more for about 10 seconds, then pour into your ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions.
No ice cream maker? No problem! Simply pour the mango mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Stir every hour until frozen. This will break up some of the ice crystals. This method obviously takes a lot longer than using an ice cream maker, so do factor this in before embarking on the ice cream recipe. This method also produces a less creamy end product.
