Creamy Mango Mousse
Creamy Mango Mousse is a bright, sweet, and light dessert made with ripe mango, whipped cream, and a touch of lime. Perfect for quick preparation and chilling ahead of time.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe mangoes, peeled and diced Use very ripe mangoes for best flavor and color.
- 1 cup heavy cream Chill your mixing bowl before whipping cream to get firmer peaks.
- 1/2 cup sugar Taste the mango puree first and add a little more sugar if needed.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 packet gelatin (optional, for firmness) Gelatin helps the mousse hold shape, but it is optional.
- Water (for gelatin, optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a blender, puree the diced mangoes until smooth.
- In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, vanilla extract, and lime juice.
- Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream.
- If using gelatin, dissolve it in warm water and let it cool slightly before folding it into the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve chilled, garnished with mango slices or mint leaves if desired.
Notes
Creamy Mango Mousse keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days. Cover the cups with plastic wrap or use airtight containers to keep it fresh. If you added gelatin, it will hold shape longer; without gelatin, it may soften after a day.
