Indulge in the smooth, tropical sweetness of this velvety mango mousse—perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings with a touch of elegance. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a luxurious dessert that’s both light and indulgent. Here’s how to make this irresistible treat.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe mangoes (or 1 cup of mango puree)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon gelatin (optional, for a firmer texture)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Mango Puree:
- Peel and chop the mangoes, then blend them until smooth. You should get about 1 cup of mango puree.
2. Whip the Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar until stiff peaks form. This will give the mousse its light, airy texture.
3. Prepare the Gelatin (Optional):
- If you want a firmer, more structured mousse, dissolve 1 tablespoon of gelatin in 2 tablespoons of hot water. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved and allow it to cool slightly.
4. Combine the Ingredients:
- Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream, mixing until smooth and well combined. If you’re using gelatin, pour it into the mixture and fold it in carefully until fully incorporated.
5. Chill the Mousse:
- Spoon the mixture into individual glasses or a serving bowl. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse has fully set and achieved a creamy consistency.
6. Serve:
- Once set, serve chilled and enjoy the luxurious, creamy texture of your mango mousse!
