Mango and vanilla fool with sesame biscuits

Serves 4, TIME: 20 mins plus extra for chilling

Sesame biscuits

• 50g sugar
• 10ml (2 tsp) white sesame seeds
• 4 finger biscuits

Fool

• 4 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
• juice of 1 lemon
• 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla paste
• 30ml (2 tbsp) vanilla sugar

• fresh mint, to garnish

1. To make the biscuits, melt the sugar in a heavy-based saucepan over high heat until it turns to caramel. Do not stir. Add the sesame seeds and swirl the pot gently. Dip the finger biscuits in the caramel and set aside on non-stick baking parchment until cool.

3. Fold the puree into the yoghurt and spoon into glasses. Place in the refrigerator until well chilled.
4. Serve the chilled fool garnished with the reserved mango and mint, with the sesame biscuits for dipping.
