Steps:
- Heat the milk (or coconut milk) in a double boiler, or in a saucepan over low heat. Do not boil.
- In a bowl, mix the 1/4-1/2 cup of sugar into the beaten eggs. SLOWLY add about a quarter of the heated milk to the egg/sugar mixture, while stirring constantly. (The continuous stirring serves to prevent the eggs from quickly cooking into scrambled eggs.).
- Slowly stir the egg/sugar/milk mixture into the remaining heated milk. Cook on low heat, until it thickens into a custard, stirring gently and continuously. Spoon it into a clean bowl and place in the refrigerator to cool.
- While the custard is cooling, cook the fruit:.
- Bring the water and three tablespoons of sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Add mango pieces. Reduce heat and cook until tender, five to ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Mash mango(or papaya), or press it through a sieve. Scoop it into a clean bowl and place in the refrigerator to cool.
- To serve:.
- Gently fold together custard and fruit. Spoon into serving bowls. Top with whipped cream, if desired. Serve immediately or keep in refrigerator for no more than a day.
- Note: An easy-to-make fool: Liquify fruit and sugar in blender or food processor. Fold into whipped cream. Chill and serve.
MANGO FOOL
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
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!

Steps:
- Put mango pieces in blender & liquidize (or mash well in a bowl with a fork).
- Stir the lime or lemon juice into the mango puree, mixing well.
- In another bowl, whisk the cream until it starts to thicken, but not enough to form peaks. Set aside.
- Stir in the yogurt & coconut milk (if using) into the mango mixture.
- Gently fold the cream into the mango mixture.
- Pour the fool into bowls or glasses and put them into the refrigerator to chill until serving time.
- Decorate with slices of mango before serving.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy mangoes. If your mangoes are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana for a few days.
- If you don't have any heavy cream, you can use whipped cream instead. Just be sure to whip it until it is stiff peaks.
- To make a vegan version of this dessert, you can use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and almond milk instead of milk.
- This dessert can be served immediately, or you can chill it for a few hours or overnight for a more intense flavor.
- Garnish with fresh mint or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.
