Mango Fool

Directions

1. 1
   Combine the cut mangoes, pits (the flesh around them will melt into the mixture), ground cardamom, and 1 cup of water in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat.
2. 2
   Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango pieces are almost falling apart and the water has thickened.
3. 3
   Remove from heat; at this point you can serve the mango hot with cold yogurt or heavy cream and the lime juice, or let cool until it reaches room temperature (about 30 minutes) and then freeze before serving cold. (I personally like the contrast between temperature, so if I am eating the mango frozen, I will heat up the heavy cream before pouring it on top.)
