Mango Strawberry Fool Recipes

STRAWBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• In a blender, combine the strawberries (reserve a few slices for garnish), sugar and lemon juice. Puree until smooth. Push the berry mixture through a sieve and discard the seeds.
• Using an electric mixer, whip the cream just until stiff peaks form. Take a large spoonful of the whipped cream and stir it into the strawberry puree to lighten the mix. Fold the strawberry mixture gently into the whipped cream. Gently spoon the fool into a chilled serving bowl and garnish with the reserved strawberries and mint leaves. Refrigerate before serving, at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

MANGO-STRAWBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• Peel the mangoes and remove the pulp from the seed, trying to keep at least 4 nice slices of mango intact for garnish; set them aside.
• In a food processor, puree the remaining pulp to a very fine puree with the salt.
• Strain through a fine mesh strainer, pushing hard on the solids.
• Chill your mixer bowl and whip in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Whip the cream and sugar until soft peaks form.
• Carefully, carefully fold the cream into the mango.
• Wash, dry and hull the strawberries.
• Slice into quarters.
• Into each glass put a spoonful of strawberry pieces.
• Top with a dollop of mango-cream.
• Top with more berries, then more mango, continuing in layers this way until you have filled the glasses.
• End each with the mango-cream.
• Garnish each with one of the reserved slices of mango and a little mint sprig.
• Serve immediately.
• Note 1- if your mangoes are really sweet don't add any sugar to the cream, just whip it without it.
• Note 2- this dish won't hold long once you've put it together, 30 minutes or so most.
• But you can prepare the mango cream and strawberries up to the point of layering several hours a head.
• Get your glasses out and ready, and then just layer before service.
• Note 3- try this with raspberries instead of strawberries- heaven!

STRAWBERRY FOOL

Steps:

• Place chilled heavy cream in a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer.
• Beat until light and fluffy, being careful not to overheat.
• Set aside or chill until ready to use. (You might need to whisk it or beat it again for a few seconds if you don't use it right away and it separates.)
• Place strawberries in a medium bowl.
• Sprinkle with sugar and add vanilla extract.
• Mash the strawberries, leaving some larger pieces.
• Let stand for a few minutes.
• Add about half of the mashed strawberries to the whipped cream, folding with a large silicone spatula.
• Reserve the remaining strawberries to use when serving.
• Spoon some of the cream into four serving glasses or dishes, top with some of the remaining mashed strawberries, and another spoonful or two of the cream and a few sliced strawberries.
• Serve immediately, or place in fridge to chill until ready to serve.

STRAWBERRY-MANGO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a mixing bowl in the refrigerator to chill.
• Place the mangos and apple juice in a sauce pan; simmer over medium-low heat. After 10 minutes, stir 1/4 cup white sugar and the honey into the mangos. Add the strawberries. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer until fruit softens.
• Place the butter into the chilled mixing bowl, and cut into small pieces. Combine butter with the remaining 1/4 cup white sugar, brown sugar, flour, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Use your fingers or two forks to mix the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture becomes coarse textured and crumbly. Refrigerate until needed.
• Pour the mango mixture into the prepared pie crust. Spread the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the fruit.
• Bake in preheated oven until topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool at least 30 minutes before serving.

STRAWBERRY FOOL RECIPE | STRAWBERRY & CREAM DESSERT

Steps:

• In a saucepan or skillet, combine chopped strawberries with sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well, and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. The strawberries will release their juices. Turn on the heat, bring the strawberry mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cook until the strawberries begin to soften (mash the strawberries with a wooden ladle) and juices reduce to a thick, syrupy liquid (about 10 minutes). Remove the pan from heat, transfer to a bowl, let it cool down completely.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment/or use a hand blender, add in the chilled heavy cream, beat on medium-high speed until it forms soft peaks.
• layer some strawberry compote at the bottom of the serving glass or jar, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Make as many layers as you'd like, finishing with the strawberry compote as the last layer. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with chopped strawberries! Enjoy!
