African Mango Fool Recipes

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:

• Peel and cut mango into pieces. Place the mango in the blender or food processor with the sugar and puree. Fold in desired amount of whipped cream and chill in the fridge. Serve when cold. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel the mangoes using a vegetable peeler. Slice the cheeks off one and cut into small dice. Set aside.
• Cut the flesh from the remaining mango and stone, then purée flesh in a liquidiser. Squeeze out the seeds from 2 of the passion fruit halves and mix with the mango purée. Add lime juice to taste. Gently fold the yogurt and half the diced mango through the fruity purée.
• Divide between 4 glasses and top with the remaining diced mango. Cover and chill for 30 mins before eating. Scoop the seeds from the remaining passion fruit over the top of the fools to serve.

Steps:

• Put mango pieces in blender & liquidize (or mash well in a bowl with a fork).
• Stir the lime or lemon juice into the mango puree, mixing well.
• In another bowl, whisk the cream until it starts to thicken, but not enough to form peaks. Set aside.
• 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.

Steps:

• Peel and cut the mangoes into small pieces and dump them in a blender.
• Put aside enough slices to garnish.
• Add the ginger, sugar and lime juice to the blender and blend until smooth.
• In a separate bowl, whip the cream (I would suggest an electric mixer) until peaks form.
• Fold the mango mixture into the whipped cream, a bit at a time.
• Stir, then gradually add more, until they are all mixed together.
• Pour the mixture into bowls and chill for one hour before serving.

Steps:

• Blend everything except the heavy cream and schnapps in a blender or food processor, and chill, covered, in a metal bowl in the refrigerator at least 8 hours.
• Whip the heavy cream and schnapps until it forms stiff peaks, and fold it into the fruit mixture.
• Serve immediately.
• Cooking time is chilling time.
