Low-fat mango fool Recipe

Photography by Ben Dearnley

Grab a couple of ripe mangoes for this deliciously low-fat mango fool dessert.

Serves: 4
Time to prep: 35 minutes

Ingredients
  • 150g low-fat ricotta cheese (see note)
  • 1/2 cup low-fat vanilla custard
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled, roughly chopped
  • 8 pieces almond bread

Method
  • Place ricotta in a food processor. Process until creamy. Pour in custard and pulse until just combined. Transfer to a large bowl. Wash and dry food processor bowl.
  • Process mango until smooth. Reserve 1/3 cup mango puree. Fold remaining mango puree into ricotta mixture.
  • Half-fill four 1-cup capacity glasses with mango-ricotta mixture. Spoon over reserved puree. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes or longer, if time permits. Serve with almond bread.

Note
  • Use low-fat or regular ricotta from the deli for this recipe (not spreadable ricotta in tubs). Ricotta is a soft, fresh cheese with a short shelf-life, so it's best used within 3 days of buying.
