Best 8 Mango Fool Recipes

AFRICAN MANGO FOOL

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.

Steps:

• 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.

MANGO-STRAWBERRY FOOL

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!
