Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 large ripe mangoes (or about 2 cups of mango pulp)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust according to the sweetness of the mangoes)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- Fresh mango slices, mint leaves, or whipped cream (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Mango Pulp
- Peel and chop the mangoes, discarding the seeds. Blend the mango pieces in a blender or food processor until you achieve a smooth, thick pulp. If the mangoes are very fibrous, you may want to strain the pulp to remove any fibers.
- Set aside about ¼ cup of the pulp for garnish, if desired, and reserve the rest for the mousse.
2. Whip the Cream
- In a large mixing bowl, add the chilled heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat, as this can cause the cream to separate.
3. Fold in the Mango Pulp
- Gently fold the mango pulp into the whipped cream, using a spatula. Be careful to mix slowly to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream. Fold until the mango is well incorporated and you have a uniform color and texture.
4. Chill the Mousse
- Spoon the mango mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and the flavors to meld.
5. Serve and Garnish
- Before serving, top each mousse with a dollop of reserved mango pulp, a slice of fresh mango, or a sprig of mint for an elegant touch. Serve chilled and enjoy!
