Mango Pina Colada-6 Hi Friends!

The kids are big fans of desserts (no surprise there) and I am a big fan of whipped cream (again there is no surprise there). I wanted to make something light for dessert, enter the  Mango Pina Colada fool. Dinner is a time when we all come together and catch up. I think my children have figured out the basic formula for me to reward them with dessert. When they do their chores good things happen. 

Mango Pina Colada-1When Abdel and I first started dating we would drive to a local restaurant called The Bahama Breeze and only order a Mango Pina Colada. It was spectacular. I was majestic, it was happiness in a glass. So I thought that for dessert I would make a  Mango Pina Colada fool. It’s the best of both worlds, it is easy to make and delicious. I realize that in Florida we don’t really get fall weather, sometimes we freak out when the temperature drops to 76. So we make this dessert all year long. 

Mango Pina Colada-2A Fool is a traditional English dessert, and is basically just berries and cream. What can go wrong with that? Nothing!!! I’m all for breaking rules as long as it taste good. I took that idea and incorporated some of my favorite summer fruits – mangoes and pineapple. I think this is the last time that I will get fresh mangos, however I have made it with frozen mangos and it was equally as good. Promise   

Mango Pina Colada-3While making it I found myself singing the Pina colada song. Don’t act like I’m the only one who has it on her iPod, and if I am don’t tell me. The kids looked at me as if i was an alien… they are already ashamed of my choices in music. I wasn’t expecting this now – during their teen sure but now? I wasn’t ready!

Mango Pina Colada-4You can do this with any fruit essentially. I have found that you can really use any fruit that is in season and make this fresh and simple dessert. Go wild, have fun! Food should be fun.
