Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 small sprigs mint leaves
Instructions
Peel and dice the ripe mangoes, removing the pit. Place the mango pieces in a blender or food processor.
Add the granulated sugar and lime juice to the blender. Blend until smooth to create a mango puree. Taste and adjust the sweetness, if needed.
Pass the mango puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any fibrous bits. Set the strained mango puree aside.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream, creating a marbled effect. Avoid overmixing to maintain the airy texture.
Spoon the Mango Fool into serving glasses or bowls, dividing it evenly among 4 portions.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish each serving with a small sprig of mint before serving for a fresh Caribbean touch.
