Mango Mousse

by

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe mangoes (about 2 cups of mango puree)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons gelatin (optional, for added stability)
  • 3 tablespoons water (for gelatin, if using)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mango Puree

  1. Peel and chop mangoes: Peel the mangoes and chop them into small pieces.
  2. Blend: In a blender or food processor, puree the mango pieces until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of mango puree.
  3. Add sugar and lemon juice: Stir in the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the mango puree. Adjust the sweetness to your preference. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Gelatin (Optional)

  1. Bloom the gelatin: If using gelatin, sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it softens.
  2. Dissolve the gelatin: Heat the mixture in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the mango puree.

Step 3: Combine Mango and Gelatin

  1. Mix with puree: If using, stir the dissolved gelatin into the mango puree until well combined. If not using gelatin, skip this step.

Step 4: Whip the Cream

  1. Beat the cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat; you want it to be light and fluffy.

Step 5: Fold the Mixtures Together

  1. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango puree in two to three additions. This keeps the mixture light and airy. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

  1. Transfer to serving dishes: Spoon the mango mousse into individual serving cups or bowls.
  2. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours or until set.
  3. Serve: Garnish with fresh mango slices, mint leaves, or whipped cream before serving.

Tips for Success

  • Choose Ripe Mangoes: For the best flavor, make sure your mangoes are fully ripe. They should feel slightly soft when gently squeezed.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mango puree before adding all the sugar. Some mangoes are sweeter than others, so adjust to your preference.
  • Alternative Sweeteners: You can substitute sugar with honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar if you prefer a different sweetener.
