How to make Mango Foul
To make this delicious and grown-up drink, you will need the following ingredients:
- Large, ripe mangoes peeled
- Cointreau, Triple Sec, or other orange liqueur: we use orange liqueur as we like the orangy taste mixed with the mango better.
- Heavy cream: you can substitute this ingredient with plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt
- Mint sprigs, for garnish
- Fresh fruit or glace fruit, for garnish
To whip up this delicious recipe you will need to …
Add the mango flesh to a blender with the liqueur and cream and blend for 30 to 45 seconds. (Better to use the pulse feature.)
Pour into either a large bowl or individual dessert glasses. Chill until the mixture sets. Before serving, decorate as desired with springs of fresh mint and fresh fruit.

- Add a splash of vanilla extract or orange extract for more flavor.
- Add a dash of nutmeg or ginger powder for a more delicious flavor.
- Use either Cointreau or orange liqueur.
