Mango Fool

Mango Fool

My wife inspired this light and exotic dessert when we thought we were all out of ideas for an event we were catering. The secret to a good Fool is to taste as you go. Some fruits require more sugar and any fruit with little acidity benefits from a bit of lemon or lime juice. This particular dessert can be assembled like a parfait. It presents well and the flavors are dreamy.

Ingredients:
14 ounces mango fresh or frozen pureed
2 1⁄2 cups heavy whipping cream
Mascarpone Cheese (optional)
Coconut Syrup
Coconut Flakes
Fresh Lime Slices
Sugar or Agave to taste


Instructions:
Using the whisk attachment on a stand mixer combine whipping cream and mascarpone cheese and add coconut syrup during the final stages and adjust to taste.

In a blender puree mango until smooth.

Assemble dessert in a parfait dish or dessert bowl layering fruit and cream mixture. Garnish with Coconut Flakes, Lime Wedge and a shortbread cookie.
