A refreshing treat for the warmer months!
Say “aloha” to my favorite summer dessert: a refreshing mango fool topped with fresh berries and vanilla-flavored whipped cream! This easy no-bake mango fool makes a deliciously satisfying dessert to cool off during the warmer months. Think 50% fruits, 50% cream, and 100% perfection!

Mango Fool Ingredients
While the recipe below highlights all the ingredients in detail, here are the main ingredients in a nutshell:
- Ripe Mangos
- Lemon juice and zest
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Vanilla extract
- Berries for topping (optional)
How to Make Mango Fool
Making this mango fool dessert is super easy:
-
First, make the mango puree: add all the mango puree ingredients to a blender and blend for 10-15 seconds or until the puree is homogenous.
-
Second, whip up that whipping cream: mix the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft peaks form (about 90 seconds).
-
Third, layer and decorate: scoop the mango puree and whipped cream into dessert cups, alternatively forming layers. Add some sliced strawberries between layers if desired, and top your mango fool with more lemon zest and strawberry slices.
- Finally, refrigerate: place your dessert cups in the refrigerator and allow 30 to 60 minutes of cooling.
Your Favorite Toppings!
I love topping this yummy dessert with fresh berries: strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries work best! You can also take it up a notch with a tad of lemon zest! Enjoy chilled directly from the fridge. Yum!
