Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large fruit ripe mangoes (or papaya or banana), peeled and chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare the fruit: Peel and chop the ripe mangoes (or substitute with papaya or banana). If using mangoes or papayas, make sure to remove the seeds.
2. Puree the fruit: Add the chopped fruit to a blender or food processor along with the lemon or lime juice. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness with additional sugar if needed. Set aside.
3. Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand whisk or electric mixer to whip the cream until soft peaks form.
4. Fold the ingredients together: Gently fold the fruit puree into the whipped cream, ensuring a marbled effect if you prefer. For a more uniform mixture, fold a little longer until combined completely.
5. Chill the dessert: Divide the mixture evenly into dessert glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
6. Serve: Garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves and an optional drizzle of additional fruit puree if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
