Ingredients

3-4 ripe mangoes, peeled, coarsely chopped, reserving some chunks for garnish
1 lime, zest and juice
2-4 tablespoons (24-48g) sugar
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract or almond flavor
¼ teaspoon (1g) nutmeg

Instructions

Peel and chop the mangoes.
Reserve about ½ cup or more of chopped mangoes for garnish and assembling.
Blend the remaining mangoes in a blender or food processor with the lime juice and 2-3 tablespoons of sugar—adjust sugar to your preference. Set aside.
Combine heavy cream with about 1 tablespoon of sugar, lime zest, and vanilla using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add additional lime juice, nutmeg, and sugar to taste. Mix on medium-high speed until peaks form.
Divide half the mango purée among the 6 glasses or bowls, layer each with a dollop of whipped cream, and repeat with the puree and whipped cream until everything is used. Top with the mango cubes and enjoy.

Notes

The riper the mangoes, the sweeter your fool will be.
Grinding the sugar in the blender before making the whipped cream helps it dissolve faster for a smoother topping.
