Mango Fool (Or Papaya or Banana...) image

Posted for ZWT, I haven't made it yet so yield and time are a guess. Any tropical fruit can be used here. I would think the pudding might need some vanilla or coconut extract added once it's thickened.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup water
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup sugar
salt (optional)
3 teaspoons water
3 tablespoons sugar
1 papayas or 2 bananas
whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • CUSTARD.
  • Heat coconut milk and water in double boiler or heavy saucepan over low heat, do not boil.
  • In a bowl, mix sugar into beaten eggs. Slowly stir in about 1/2 cup of the heated milk to the egg-sugar mixture to temper.
  • Slowly stir the egg-sugar mixture into heated milk. Cook on low heat until thickened into a custard, stirring gently and continuously.
  • Add salt to taste. Refrigerate custard.
  • FRUIT.
  • While custard is cooling, peel, seed and chop fruit. Cook the fruit by bringing water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Add fruit pieces, reduce heat and cook until tender, 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Mash fruit or press through a sieve. Refrigerate.
  • SERVE.
  • Gently fold together cooled custard and cooled fruit. Spoon into serving bowls and top with whipped cream.
