Lime Fool Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt to loosen it. In another medium bowl, beat the cream with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sugar until it thickens slightly (it should not be thick enough to hold peaks). Fold the whipped cream into the yogurt.
• In a blender or food processor, puree the mangoes, lime juice, and the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar. Add more sugar to taste, if desired. Fold the mango puree into the yogurt and cream mixture until they are partially combined.
• Spoon the fool into 4 glasses and chill until ready to serve. Garnish with the dates and pistachios, if desired.

• Beat 3/4 cup chilled cream in another medium bowl to soft peaks. Add sugar and beat until stiff. Fold cream into white chocolate mixture.
• Place scant 1/4 cup sliced berries in each of four 8- to 10-ounce wineglasses. Press 3 kiwi slices against sides of each glass. Spoon 1/3 cup cream mixture into each glass. Spoon scant 1/4 cup sliced berries in center of each, pressing into center so berries do not show at sides of glasses. Spoon remaining cream over; smooth tops. Cover and chill at least 2 and up to 6 hours.

• Beat cream in a large bowl until it holds soft peaks, then fold in papaya mixture gently but thoroughly.
• Divide among 8 (6-ounce) glasses and chill at least 1 hour to allow flavors to develop.

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 the lemon curd and yogurt into a bowl. Fold together for a rippled effect. Divide the mixture between four glasses and chill.
• Mix raspberries and icing sugar together and gently crush, then spoon with their juices over the chilled mix and serve.

Steps:

• Put the limes in a saucepan and cover with water. Place a small heatproof plate on top of the fruit to keep them submerged and then bring to a boil over a medium heat and simmer for 20-30 mins until the limes are tender. Scoop out the limes, pat them dry with kitchen paper, and discard the cooking water.
• Once the limes are cool enough to handle, chop them (peel and pith included) into 3cm chunks and tip everything, including any juice, into a mixing bowl. Stir in the chopped garlic, chilli powder, turmeric and salt, and leave to one side for 1 hour.
• Heat a sturdy and dry frying pan over a medium-low heat, and add the mustard seeds, fenugreek, cumin and star anise, Stir and toast the spices for about 40 seconds until aromatic. Tip them into a mortar, add 1 teaspoon of sugar and pound to a powder with a pestle - you can also use an electric spice grinder for this, too.
• Add this ground spice mix to the limes, stir well, spoon everything into a sterilised jar and then seal. Leave the pickle in a warm place or on a sunny window ledge for 2-3 days so that flavours mature. Stir the limes once a day with a metal spoon to ensure they are evenly coated in the spice mix.
• Heat the oil in a wok or karahi over a medium-high heat and fry the ginger and green chillies for 2-3 mins, until the ginger starts to turn golden. Add the vinegar and sugar and simmer over a medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved, then boil for 2 mins.
• Turn the heat off and add the steeped limes and masala. Leave on one side to cool and then spoon the pickle back into the same jar. Using a metal spoon, push the limes down into the jar so that they are covered by the spicy oil - you might need to add a little extra oil. Seal the jar and leave the pickle for 3-4 days before tasting. It will keep for 3 months at room temperature.
