- Whisk the egg yolks with 6 tablespoons of sugar - whisk until light yellow and doubled in volume.
- Heat the milk, cream, and remaining ½ cup of sugar until just boiling.
- Slowly whisk the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks - be sure to temper the yolks first. Once combined, return to saucepan and heat over very low heat until it coats the back of a wooden spoon. Strain and cool. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Cook the mango mixture in their syrup until soft (about 5 minutes). Stir in the rum and cool. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Strain the mangos, reserving the liquid. Stir liquid into the milk/cream mixture and chill in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. About 1 minute before finishing, stir in the reserved mango and finish chilling. Freeze for about 2 hours.

Glossary:
- "Flambé" means to pour liquor over food and light it in order to burn off the alcohol and impart the flavor of the liquor to the food.
- "Caramelize" means to heat sugar until it turns brown.
- "Temper" means to slowly raise the temperature of eggs by adding a small amount of hot liquid and whisking constantly. This helps avoid creating scrambled eggs.
