Ingredients:
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mangoes:
Begin by peeling the mangoes with a sharp knife. Once peeled, cut them into small, manageable pieces. Place these mango pieces into a blender to create a luscious mango puree. -
Reserve for Garnish:
Set aside a few slices of mango to use as a garnish for your finished dessert. These slices will add a lovely visual appeal and extra mango flavor to each serving. -
Blend the Ingredients:
To the blender with the mango pieces, add the grated ginger, confectioners’ sugar, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Blend these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy mango mixture. -
Whip the Cream:
In a separate mixing bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks begin to form. This will give the Mango Fool its airy and light texture. -
Combine Mango and Cream:
Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream. Start by adding a small portion of the mango mixture to the whipped cream, and carefully fold it in. Continue to add the mango mixture bit by bit, folding gently until the two mixtures are fully incorporated and smooth. -
Chill the Dessert:
Once the mango and cream are well combined, pour the mixture into individual serving bowls. Cover the bowls and refrigerate them for about one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. -
Garnish and Serve:
After chilling, remove the bowls from the refrigerator. Garnish each serving with the reserved mango slices. Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical delight of your homemade Mango Fool.
