Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mango:
- Begin by peeling the ripe mango and chopping the flesh into small, bite-sized chunks. Set aside.
-
Cook the Mango Mixture:
- In a saucepan, combine the chopped mango, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, bringing it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the mango becomes soft and slightly broken down. Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mango mixture to cool to room temperature.
-
Whip the Cream:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the chilled fresh cream and caster sugar together using a hand whisk or an electric beater. Continue whisking until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy whipped cream.
-
Mix the Yogurt and Coconut:
- Add the coconut milk, toasted dessicated coconut, and yogurt to the whipped cream. Whisk the mixture for about a minute until it becomes smooth and creamy, making sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Assemble the Fool:
- In your serving bowls, start layering the fool. Spoon a couple of tablespoons of the whipped cream mixture into the bottom of each bowl. Then, add a tablespoon of the cooked mango mixture on top. Continue alternating between the whipped cream mixture and the mango, layering until all components are used up.
-
Chill:
- Once the bowls are filled, place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the fool to set slightly.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Before serving, garnish the mango yogurt fool with chopped mango chunks and a sprinkling of toasted dessicated coconut. The fresh fruit adds a lovely burst of color and flavor, while the toasted coconut provides a satisfying crunch.
