Equipment

  • Blender
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Hand or Stand Mixer
  • Spatula
  • Serving glasses or bowls

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups ripe mango puree fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice adds a refreshing tang
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract enhances aroma
  • 1 tsp unflavored gelatin optional, for a firmer mousse
  • 2 tbsp water for blooming gelatin

Optional Garnish

  • toasted coconut flakes
  • crushed pistachios
  • fresh mint leaves

Instructions
 

  • Peel, pit, and blend fresh mangoes into a smooth puree. Stir in lime juice and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • If using gelatin, sprinkle it over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes, then heat gently until dissolved. Allow to cool slightly before mixing into the mango puree.
  • In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar to soft peaks using a hand or stand mixer.
  • Gently fold the mango puree (and gelatin mixture, if using) into the whipped cream to maintain the mousse's airy texture.
  • Divide the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
  • Before serving, garnish with toasted coconut flakes, crushed pistachios, or fresh mint leaves for added flavor and texture.

Notes

Use ripe, sweet mangoes like Alphonso or Ataulfo for the best flavor. Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit. For a vegan option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and omit the gelatin.
