Mango Fool
A fool is a delicious combination of fruit and milk, but the Mango Fool Mom made was out of this world. It was a drink and not the usual dessert.
Ingredients
- 6-8 medium raw mangoes (half raw will also do)
- ¾ cup sugar or to taste
- 3 cups water
- 3 cups chilled milk
- 1 cup crushed ice
Instructions
- Wash and peel the mangoes.
- Boil the peeled mangoes with water and sugar until they are tender. Approximately 20 minutes. Leave to cool.
- Squeeze out the pulp and discard the seed.
- Blend in an electric blender until smooth. If the mangoes you use have threads, strain them through a fine muslin cloth or mesh strainer.
- Chill the mixture until needed.
- When ready to serve, mix the mango mixture with the chilled milk.
- If it tastes too tart, add more sugar or milk to your taste.
- If the mangoes are starting to ripen, they should be sweet enough.
- Pour a quarter cup of crushed ice into tall glasses. Pour the mango fool in and serve with a sprig of fresh mint.
- A cool and refreshing drink for summer!
Notes
Note: This can be made with tart apples as well.
