A light, fruity, and refreshing dessert that comes together in just a few simple steps. This creamy mango mousse is perfect for summer or any time you’re craving something sweet and tropical.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes
or about 1 cup of mango puree - 1 cup whipping cream
(heavy cream or double cream) - 2 tablespoons sugar
(adjust according to the sweetness of your mangoes) - 1 tablespoon gelatin (optional)
(for a firmer, more set mousse)
Instructions
1. Make the Mango Puree
- Peel the mangoes and remove the flesh from the seed.
- Cut the mango flesh into chunks.
- Blend until completely smooth.
You should end up with around 1 cup of thick mango puree.
2. Whip the Cream
- Add the whipping cream to a chilled mixing bowl.
- Add the sugar.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream until it reaches stiff peaks and looks light and fluffy.
3. Prepare the Gelatin (Optional)
- Place 1 tablespoon of gelatin in a small bowl.
- Add 2 tablespoons of hot water.
- Stir well until the gelatin fully dissolves.
- Allow it to cool slightly so it is no longer hot, but still liquid.
4. Combine the Mango and Cream
- Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream using a spatula.
- Mix slowly to keep the mousse light and airy.
- If using gelatin, pour the dissolved, cooled gelatin into the mixture.
- Fold again until everything is evenly combined and smooth.
5. Chill the Mango Mousse
- Spoon or pour the mousse into serving glasses, cups, or a large serving dish.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is well set and chilled.
6. Serve and Enjoy
- Once firm and cold, your mango mousse is ready to serve.
- Enjoy it as is, or garnish with:
- Fresh mango slices
- Mint leaves
- A light dusting of grated chocolate or coconut
Enjoy your silky, creamy mango mousse!
