Comment préparer African Mango Fool

**Make the Custard:** Heat 2 cups of milk in a double boiler or saucepan over low heat. Do not boil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 large eggs until pale and thick.
Gradually whisk about 1/4 cup of the warm milk into the egg mixture to temper the eggs.
Gently pour the tempered egg mixture into the remaining warm milk, stirring constantly.
Cook over very low heat, stirring continuously, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 8-10 minutes). Do not boil!
Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl. This ensures a smooth and silky texture.
Cover the custard with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate to chill completely.
**Prepare the Mango:** Combine 1 cup of water and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
Add 2 cups of ripe mango chunks (about 2 large mangoes).
Reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the mango is tender.
Mash the mango with a fork or potato masher until smooth, or puree using an immersion blender. Alternatively, press it through a sieve for an extra-smooth consistency.
Transfer the mango puree to a clean bowl and refrigerate to chill.
**Assemble the Fool:** Once both the custard and mango are thoroughly chilled, gently fold the mango puree into the custard until just combined.
Spoon the Mango Fool into serving bowls.
Top with whipped cream (optional) and serve immediately, or chill for later. Best served within a day.
