Low Fat Mango Fool | Easy Eggless Mango Recipe | Light Mango Dessert

Low fat Mango fool

Mangoes are in full season, to add to all the mango madness last week my dad came home with a box full of ripe alphonso mangoes. I went mad seeing the amount of mangoes and everytime I would step into the kitchen the whole room would be smelling of sweet ripe mangoes. I wanted to try few recipes using the seasons best, hopefully will share all the mango madness with you here ;-). Adding to the madness as it is, I finally picked up a new DSLR camera after much research and lots of waiting for the best deal I finally am a proud owner of a Nikon D5200 and to treat all of you I made this simple low fat mango fool recipe. Do comment below on your thoughts about the pictures in this post. 

Usually mango fool is made with full fat cream, sugar and lemon zest. I made my own twists to make this dessert light but yet you will not miss all that cream, trust me. Wondering why the name fool? so did I, its from the French word foule which means pureed or crushed. Anyhoo lets run to the recipe now :P
