Ingredients
- 450 g mango puree/pulp (from fresh or frozen) from approximately 3 mangoes (plus extra for decoration)
- 250 ml thickened cream 35% milk fat with included thickeners
- 1 teaspoon powdered gelatine
- 1-2 tablespoon icing sugar (confectioners sugar/powdered sugar) as needed
Instructions
- Place 2 tablespoons of cold water into a small shallow bowl.
- Sprinkle gelatine over the surface of the water and allow to sit for 3 - 5 minutes. This allows the gelatine to "bloom" or rehydrate.
- Then sit the base of this bowl into a larger bowl then pour boiling water into the larger bowl to warm and dissolve the gelatine, whisking with a fork to blend out any lumps.
- Meanwhile, whip the cream to medium peaks with a hand-held mixer or a stand mixer (be careful not to overwhip).
- Using a spatula, gently fold mango puree into whipped cream, adding icing sugar as needed.
- Add icing sugar to taste.
- Gently stir in gelatine mixture, then pour mousse into serving glasses.
- Place in the fridge to chill for 2 hours to set. Serve cold.

Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- This recipe makes 3 cups of mousse.
- The cream needs to be really cold to whip properly.
- Be careful not to overwhip the thickened cream or it will take on a grainy texture.
- Gently fold the mango pulp into the cream. You don't want to deflate the air bubbles that we just incorporated into the cream when it was whipped.
- The variety and level of sweetness of the mangoes will change the amount of sugar you need to add to the mousse.
- As this is a set dessert, you need to pour it into your serving glasses/dishes of choice to then set in the fridge.
