Mango-Lime Fool

Last night I hosted the book club I belong to, and as host, I am responsible for providing dessert. My grand plan was to make a fantastically simple and delicious mango-lime fool that Zillah and I had made for one of our dinner nights. Off to the store I went, in search of some canned mango. But do you think I could find that damned canned mango anywhere?

Not a chance.

Canned plums, grapefruit, and apricots, yes.

But no stinking mango.

After 3 grocery stores and a near meltdown in the store (where I restrained myself from chucking a large can of grapefruit at the juice boxes), and desperately wondering why there isn't a Wegmans within 2000 miles of Utah, I finally gave up my search and opted for "fresh" mangoes. Fresh is in quotes because mangoes are never really fresh or ripe around here, which unfortunately gave my mango-lime fool a suspiciously vegetable-y taste (does anyone else think unripe mangoes taste like carrots?).

Overall, I think it was decent. Everyone ate it at least. Either way, I thought I'd share the recipe with you all...good luck finding the mangoes.

(Zillah- where on earth did you get them last time? And thanks for the recipe)
