Mango Mousse Recipe
Description
The Mango Mousse Recipe involves blending sweet, ripe mangoes into a smooth puree, optionally sweetened with raw sugar or honey. Separately, cream is whipped until soft peaks form, then the mango puree is gently folded into the cream to maintain an airy texture. Once combined, the mixture is portioned into serving glasses or bowls and chilled for at least an hour to let the mousse firm.
This dessert features a delicate balance of creamy and fruity elements, with the mango providing natural sweetness and a fresh, fragrant flavor. The lightness of the whipped cream contrasts with the dense fruit puree, making it both smooth and fluffy. The mousse can be garnished with various toppings such as fresh mango pieces, nuts, fruit preserves, chocolate, or mint to add interest and additional flavor layers.
Chilling the mousse is essential to achieve the appropriate consistency before serving. The recipe suggests using sweet mango varieties to avoid potential stomach discomfort when paired with cream. It can be stored covered in the refrigerator for several days.
Ingredients
For mousse
- 2 Mango sweet, ripe & medium-sized or 1.5 cups chopped
- 1 to 2 tablespoons raw sugar or honey - add as required, optional
- ½ cup light cream (25% to 35% fat) or whipping cream
For garnish (choose any)
- ¼ cup Mango chopped
- 1 to 2 tablespoons nuts cashews, almonds, pistachios, chopped
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fruit preserve
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chocolate or grated chocolate or chocolate syrup, shavings
- 3 to 4 mint sprigs
Instructions
Making mango puree
- In a blender, add the chopped mangoes. At this step, you can also add sugar or honey if the mangoes are not overly sweet.
- Blend to a smooth fine puree.
- Make sure to use only sweet tasting mangoes with dairy products. Tangy or sour-sweet mangoes when mixed with cream can cause stomach upsets.
Whipping cream
- Take cream in a bowl. With an electric beater beat the cream until you see soft peaks in it.
- Ensure you don't over whip the cream.
- Add the mango puree to the beaten cream.
- Fold gently to combine the mango puree with the whipped cream.
- Pour or spoon the mango mousse in small shot glasses or bowls. Cover and chill the mousse in the refrigerator for 1 hour to a couple of hours.
Serving suggestions
- Serve mango mousse cold. Garnish any of your preferred toppings from the ingredients mentioned above or enjoy the mousse as is.
Storage
- This mango mousse will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Keep the glasses covered with plastic wrap or transfer to a sealed container.
