Creamy Mango Mousse Recipe

A light, airy, and refreshing mango mousse, perfect for a summer dessert.

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for the mousse)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for whipping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Optional: fresh mango slices or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mango Puree:
    • Peel and cube the mangoes.
    • Place the mango cubes in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
    • Add the lemon juice and sugar to the mango puree and blend again. Taste and adjust sugar if needed.
  2. Bloom the Gelatin:
    • In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water.
    • Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften (bloom).
    • Heat the 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until it simmers. Do not boil.
    • Remove from heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
    • Add the warm gelatin mixture to the mango puree and blend until well combined.
  3. Whip the Cream:
    • In a separate chilled bowl, pour the 1 cup of cold heavy cream.
    • Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Combine and Chill:
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango puree mixture, ensuring it’s evenly incorporated.
    • Pour the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until set.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Before serving, garnish with fresh mango slices or mint leaves, if desired.
