Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe mangoes or 1½ cups mango puree
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Mango cubes or mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Peel and dice the mangoes, then blend into a smooth puree. You should have about 1½ cups of puree.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  4. Once fully combined, spoon or pipe the mousse into serving glasses.
  5. Chill for at least 2 hours to set.
  6. Before serving, garnish with fresh mango cubes or mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, strain the mango puree before mixing.
  • You can add a splash of lime juice for extra zing.
  • Want a firmer set? Fold in 1 teaspoon of dissolved gelatin if desired.
  • Use canned mango pulp when fresh mangoes are out of season.
