How to Make The Caribbean Mango Fool

  1. Peel and chop 2 ripe mangoes into chunks.
  2. Place the mango chunks in a blender and blend until completely smooth.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice and mix well. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup heavy cream until it thickens slightly – soft peaks are not needed.
  5. Set the whipped cream aside.
  6. In a bowl, gently fold 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup coconut milk (optional) into the mango puree. If omitting coconut milk, add a splash of extra lime juice to balance the flavors.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Pour the Mango Fool into individual serving bowls or glasses.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly before serving.
  10. Garnish with fresh mango slices and a sprig of mint (optional) before serving.
