Mango, Lime and Yoghurt Fool

How sublime are mangoes?  Juicy, yellow golden flesh - a special summertime treat.  Nigel Slater's simple dessert adds a zing of lime and yoghurt to mangoes creating a creamy treat  easily topped with chunks of fresh mango  - summery and just a little bit indulgent.  

Enjoy! Colleen


Prepartion         10 minutes 
Cooking             NONE
Chilling              at least 2 hours
Serves               4 - 6 depending on glass size.  

Ingredients

2 ripe large mangoes 
PLUS 1 mango - ripe, peeled and flesh cut into cubes for garnish chunks

1 lime  - juice and zest
150 ml Greek yoghurt     (I might try a thick coconut yoghurt next time?)
150 ml thickened cream 
mint leaves for garnish - optional  
OR some toasted coconut flakes - optional

Method

I used a stick blender to mash that  also had a whisk attachment.  
OR   you could use a blender, food processor  then  also whisk cream separately.

Put the Greek yoghurt into a large bowl.
Peel the 2 mangoes and using a stick blender jug or food processor -  mash the mango flesh with the lime zest and juice. Pour into the bowl with the Greek yoghurt.
Whisk the cream until it thickens but NOT to stiff peaks. 
Stir the cream into the mango yoghurt until well combined and smooth.
Spoon the mango mixture into wine glasses, water glasses etc.
Top with cubed mango and chill for at least 2 hours
Garnish with mint leaves or toasted coconut flakes if desired.

Enjoy!   Colleen
