  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Orange Cream Dressing

  • 1 Egg (Beaten)
  • 1 Orange (Juiced or 1/4 cup orange juice)
  • 1/4 Cup Sugar

    • Whipped Cream Mixture

    • 1/2 Cup Whipping Cream
    • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

    Fruit

    • 2-3 Mangoes (Peeled, cut and diced into bite sized pieces)
    • 5 Nectarines (Cut and diced into bite sized pieces, peeled if preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Orange Cream Dressing: In a separate bowl, beat one large egg and set aside. In a saucepan, combine the fresh orange juice and sugar. Heat over medium heat, then whisk in the beaten egg. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and reaches a bubbling boil. Remove from heat and let the orange cream cool completely before using.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract to the whipped cream and mix gently to combine.
  3. Combine Cream and Orange Dressing: Once the orange cream has fully cooled, gently fold it into the whipped cream mixture. Be careful not to overmix in order to maintain a light and airy texture.
  4. Prepare the Fruit: Peel the mangoes and dice them into small, bite-sized pieces. Dice the nectarines into similar-sized pieces, peeling if preferred. Combine both types of diced fruit in a separate bowl.
  5. Fold Fruit into Cream Mixture: Just before serving, gently fold the mixed diced fruit into the orange cream and whipped cream mixture using a spatula, ensuring the mixture remains light and airy.
  6. Serve: Serve the Summer Fruit Fool in individual dessert glasses, a large serving bowl, or pack into small mason jars, ideal for summer picnics and gatherings.

Notes

  • Make sure the orange cream is completely cooled before folding it into the whipped cream to prevent melting or loss of volume.
  • You can peel nectarines based on personal preference; the skins add texture and color.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and is perfect for warm summer days.
  • Use fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • If desired, the sugar amount can be adjusted depending on the sweetness of the fruit.
