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
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the ripe mangoes, removing the pit. Place the mango pieces in a blender or food processor.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Pass the mango puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any fibrous bits. Set the strained mango puree aside.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Step 5
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overwhip.
Step 6
Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream, creating a marbled effect. Avoid overmixing to maintain the airy texture.
Step 7
Spoon the Mango Fool into serving glasses or bowls, dividing it evenly among 4 portions.
Step 8
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Garnish each serving with a small sprig of mint before serving for a fresh Caribbean touch.
