Mango Fool (Jamaica, Caribbean)

"I was about to leave *The Essential Caribbean Cookbook* edited by Heather Thomas after entering several recipes from it when I noticed this final recipe in the cookbook. There are several mango fool variations already entered on RZ, but none resemble this one & the pic was stunning to say the least. (Time does not include chill time) *Enjoy* !"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
