Super light and fluffy, sweet and tangy. Love it. The original recipe called for a whole cup of sugar, but I halved it for health and it tasted just fine.

THE CARIBBEAN MANGO FOOL



The Caribbean Mango Fool image

From my DD's Children's World Cookbook & Posted for ZWT-5. A very healthy, slushy fruit drink that can also be served as a dessert. Although coconut in fresh, dried or liquid form, is an important ingredient in Caribbean Cooking, this recipe does not depend on it if there is an allergy or personal preference not to use it. Enjoy!

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ripe mangoes
1 pinch salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 pint ripe strawberry
mint sprig

Steps:

  • Peel the mangoes and remove the pulp from the seed, trying to keep at least 4 nice slices of mango intact for garnish; set them aside.
  • In a food processor, puree the remaining pulp to a very fine puree with the salt.
  • Strain through a fine mesh strainer, pushing hard on the solids.
  • Chill your mixer bowl and whip in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Whip the cream and sugar until soft peaks form.
  • Carefully, carefully fold the cream into the mango.
  • Wash, dry and hull the strawberries.
  • Slice into quarters.
  • Into each glass put a spoonful of strawberry pieces.
  • Top with a dollop of mango-cream.
  • Top with more berries, then more mango, continuing in layers this way until you have filled the glasses.
  • End each with the mango-cream.
  • Garnish each with one of the reserved slices of mango and a little mint sprig.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Note 1- if your mangoes are really sweet don't add any sugar to the cream, just whip it without it.
  • Note 2- this dish won't hold long once you've put it together, 30 minutes or so most.
  • But you can prepare the mango cream and strawberries up to the point of layering several hours a head.
  • Get your glasses out and ready, and then just layer before service.
  • Note 3- try this with raspberries instead of strawberries- heaven!

Mango Fool (Or Papaya or Banana...) image

Posted for ZWT, I haven't made it yet so yield and time are a guess. Any tropical fruit can be used here. I would think the pudding might need some vanilla or coconut extract added once it's thickened.

1 large egg
1/2 cup sugar
1 (30-oz) can Alphonso mango slices in syrup*, drained
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 cup chilled heavy cream

MANGO FOOL (MOUSSE DE MANGO)

Categories     dessert

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 ripe mangos, peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
1 Tbs. lime juice
1 Tbs. orange juice
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place mango, 2 tablespoons sugar, lime and orange juice into bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape mixture into a large mixing bowl and chill completely. Whip cream with remaining sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into mango mixture and spoon into small dessert cups. Serve immediately.

Tips for Making Mango Fool:

  • Use ripe mangoes that are sweet and juicy. If your mangoes are not quite ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana at room temperature for a few days.
  • Make sure the cream is very cold before whipping it. This will help it whip up quickly and smoothly.
  • If you want a lighter fool, you can use half-and-half instead of cream.
  • To make a vegan fool, you can use coconut cream or cashew cream instead of dairy cream.
  • If you don't have time to make the fool ahead of time, you can serve it immediately after making it. However, it will be even more delicious if you let it chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Mango fool is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light, refreshing, and flavorful, and it can be made with just a few simple ingredients. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy dessert or something to impress your guests, mango fool is a great choice.
