Nevisian Mango Fool

I was short of fool for the second cup! lol

Mango is my favorite fruit since childhood, I wanted to try something fresh with mango pulp, I came across this recipe of mango fool from Nevis. They don't use yogurt or whip cream like I see most of the time instead they make the old good home made custard. I love it! It's a bit timely though...and making the creme is something else! But it's definitely worth it.

Ingredients:

• lb ripe but firm mangoes + 2 – 3 tbsp water (or ½ lb mango pulp)
• Sugar to taste
• Small piece of cinnamon stick
• 2 tbsp cream or evaporated milk
• Custard (¼ pint)
• Vanilla essence
• Nutmeg
•  Star anise

PREPARATION:
Peel and slice the mangoes, then stew the flesh with water and cinnamon. Rub through sieve or use a food processor to purée. Make the custard and set aside to cool.
Add the custard to the mango purée and sweeten to taste. Whip the cream a bit, and add to it the fruit and custard mixture. Pour into one bowl or individual serving bowls before chilling. Chill for an hour at least. (Add diced mango for decoration.)
