mango mousse recipe
A creamy and tropical mango-flavored dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 packet (2 tsp) unflavored gelatin
- 3 tbsp water
- Fresh mint leaves or mango slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Blend the diced mangoes in a blender until smooth to create mango puree.
- In a small bowl, mix the gelatin with water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Heat the gelatin mixture gently until it dissolves completely. Allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Fold the mango puree and dissolved gelatin into the whipped cream gently until well combined.
- Pour the mousse mixture into serving glasses or bowls.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves or mango slices before serving.
Notes

- For a vegetarian version, use agar-agar instead of gelatin.
