Mango & passionfruit fool

As the summer approaches I've realised that my taste in food changes - instead of the heavier warming meals I want to have something fresher and fruitier. Today was one of those days when I had such a craving and decided to make myself a mango and passionfruit fool for lunch. I used Greek style yogurt instead of cream and thus the result was a lot healthier and lighter. Mango and passionfruit are amazing together, creating the perfect combination of sweet and sour. I had it for lunch, but also it would be perfect for breakfast, as a snack or even as a dessert - I can so imagine myself having it on a warm summer evening after a BBQ with friends!


Ingredients
(Serves 2 - 160 cal per serving)
- 1 ripe mango; peeled and diced
- 1/4 lime, juiced
- 225g 0% (or low fat) Greek yogurt
- 1 passion fruit


Directions
Peel and dice the mango. Divide the mango into half and put one half into a medium bowl and divide the other half between two serving bowls (leaving aside few cubes for the topping).

In the medium bowl puree the mango with a handheld mixer (or use a food processor) and add the lime juice to the puree. Stir in the Greek yogurt and mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Divide the mixture between two serving bowls (or glasses), top the mixture with remaining mango and scoop the seeds of half a passion fruit on each one. Cover and put in the fridge to chill and thicken for at least an hour.

Also, if you prefer your fool a bit sweeter then add a tiny bit of sugar to the mixture before putting it in the bowls. However, it is amazing without any added sugar (mango is sweet enough) and I love the sour taste of passionfruit and therefore did not add any.
