Method

Step 1 of 4

Line a shallow 18x23cm rectangular pan with baking paper, allowing it to hang over the longer sides. Soften the ice-cream at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Spread into pan and smooth surface. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Step 2 of 4

Meanwhile, make the syrup. Using a vegetable peeler, peel 4 x 6cm long strips of rind from the orange, avoiding the white pith. Juice the orange and place into a medium saucepan with peel, 1/2 cup water, sugar and star anise. Stir over low heat until sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until syrupy. Remove from heat.

Step 3 of 4

Heat oil in a medium pan over medium high heat. Cook pastry squares, in batches, for 1-2 minutes or until just golden. Remove and drain on paper towel. Set aside.

Step 4 of 4

Cut 4 squares from the ice-cream, the same size as the pastry. Place ice-cream onto pastry, top with mango and a second pastry. Serve topped with halved lychees and a drizzle of syrup.
