Mango fool or Mango cream is a perfect summer dessert.Its very quick,delicious and easy to make.This creamy mango fool is made with the combination of crushed pureed mangoes and heavy cream.
The name of this dessert comes from the french word foule which means pureed or crushed .You can also use any fruit of choice to make this.Cream can also be substituted with yoghurt to make low fat version .To make mango fool pureed mangoes are blended with cream,but I love to have white and orange streaks ,so I just folded gently.
