Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe mangoes, peeled and pureed Fresh is best, but frozen can work too if thawed.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Use organic for best results.
  • 1/2 cup sugar Can substitute with honey or agave for a natural sweetener.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Pure is preferable for rich flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Freshly squeezed adds brightness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon gelatin Optional; adds firmness to the mousse.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form (about 4-5 minutes).
  2. In another bowl, mix the pureed mangoes, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth (about 2 minutes).
  3. If using gelatin, dissolve it in a small amount of warm water until fully dissolved, then add to the mango mixture and mix for another 30 seconds.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  5. Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

This mousse can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days but is best enjoyed fresh. It can be prepared a day ahead of time.
