REC: Mango-Strawberry Fool ...
I haven't gotten around to trying this yet, but it's gotten great reviews on both the Recipezaar site and the Fine Cooking forum.
MANGO-STRAWBERRY FOOL
(See poster's notes below).
2 ripe mangoes
1 pinch salt
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar (use sugar only if mangoes are not sweet)
1 pint ripe strawberries
mint sprigs
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!

I actually have a recipe for "Mango Mousse for 400." smileys/wink.gif
It calls for 800 mangoes. smileys/wink.gif I'll post if someone wants to do the math to bring it down to a resonable serving size! I have no idea where I got this recipe--I found it when I was organizing my recipes over the winter; it was next to "Pasta Sauce for One." I kid you not. smileys/wink.gif

Mango-Lime Sorbet
Recipe By : Epi recipe swap/Cook's Illustrated, Aug-Sep'96
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Desserts Fruit
Tried & True
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
1 3/4 Cups Sugar
1 3/4 Cups Water
4 Medium Mangos, Very Ripe,Peeled, Pitted -- pureed
(2 Cups Of Puree Needed)
2 Tablespoons Tequila Or Vodka
1/2 Cup Fresh Lime Juice
2 Teaspoons Lime Zest -- freshly grated
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over high heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup is simmering, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. You should have a little more than 2 1/2 cups.
Combine 2 1/2 cups warm syrup with the mango puree, tequila or vodka, lime juice and lime zest. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. For faster freezing, chill the mixture in the refrigerator.
Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker, according to manufacturer's instructions.

Serving Ideas : Great after spicy food, or as a light dessert.
NOTES : I used tequila, and the flavor was wonderful. Be careful not to exceed the amount of alcohol called for, or the mixture will not freeze. (Would make a nice slushy drink, however.)
The mangos I found were large, and I only needed three to get 2 cups of puree.

You got it from ME!!!
I posted it ages ago, like in the '90's at the old swap!
How funny, I had scaled it for someone that was looking for a large quantity easy dessert... I had also suggested they use canned mango...
I wonder who it was for?
EDIT - I just found it in the old swap archive it was 1998!
Here is the link, see if you can get there:

Did I really? How funny! I have, of course, no need to serve 400 people,
but the title always amused me. Thanks for the background!
