Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 sweet, ripe medium-sized mangoes (or 1.5 cups chopped)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons raw sugar or honey (optional, adjust as per sweetness of mangoes)
- ½ cup light cream (25% to 35% fat) or whipping cream
For Garnish
- ¼ cup chopped mangoes
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fruit preserve
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chocolate shavings, grated chocolate, or chocolate syrup
- 3 to 4 mint sprigs
Instructions
- Prepare Mango Puree: Chop the ripe mangoes and add them to a blender. If the mangoes are not fully sweet, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of raw sugar or honey according to your taste. Blend until you achieve a smooth, fine puree. Use only sweet mangoes as sour varieties can cause stomach discomfort when mixed with cream.
- Whip the Cream: Pour the light or whipping cream into a bowl. Using an electric beater, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip to maintain a smooth texture.
- Combine Puree and Cream: Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream until well combined. This will give the mousse its light and airy consistency.
- Chill the Mousse: Spoon or pour the mango mousse into small shot glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but up to a couple of hours, to set and chill properly.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve the chilled mango mousse cold. Garnish with your choice of chopped mangoes, nuts, fruit preserves, chocolate shavings, and mint sprigs for added flavor and presentation.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in a sealed container. The mousse will keep fresh for 3 to 4 days.
Notes
- Use only sweet and ripe mangoes for the best flavor and to avoid stomach discomfort.
- Adjust the amount of sugar or honey depending on the natural sweetness of your mangoes.
- Do not overwhip the cream as it can become grainy or turn into butter.
- Serve the mousse chilled for the best texture and taste.
- The mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days if covered properly.
