I was about to leave *The Essential Caribbean Cookbook* edited by Heather Thomas after entering several recipes from it when I noticed this final recipe in the cookbook. There are several mango fool variations already entered on RZ, but none resemble this one & the pic was stunning to say the least. (Time does not include chill time) *Enjoy* !
Ingredients: [‘mangoes’, ‘sugar’, ‘lime’, ‘water’, ‘egg’, ‘milk’, ‘heavy cream’]
Quantity of Ingredients: [“6 mangoes”,”1/2 cup sugar”,”1/2 lime (Juice of)”,”5 ounces water”,”1 egg”,”5 ounces milk”,”1/2 cup heavy cream”]
Number of Servings: 6
Steps: [‘Peel mangoes, cut out the pits, chop the flesh into sml pieces & place in a saucepan w/the sugar, lime juice & water. Simmer gently over low heat till soft & pulpy.’, ‘Push the mango mixture thru a sieve & then beat the puree thoroughly till smooth. Cover & set aside while you make the custard.’, ‘Break the egg into a bowl & beat lightly. Heat milk w/o boiling & stir into the beaten egg. Return to the heat & stir constantly over very low heat till the custard thickens. Do not allow it to boil.’, ‘Remove the custard from the heat & allow it to cool. Stir in the mango puree & the cream. Do not blend thoroughly ~ the fool should look streaky. Pour into glasses or individual dishes & chill b4 serving.’]
