Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 7 oz (200 g) Mango (about 2 medium mangoes)
- 1 cup (240 ml) Heavy cream, cold
- 4 tablespoons (30 g) Powdered sugar
Optional Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean paste or extract
- Mint leaves for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the mango puree: Peel and dice the mangoes into cubes. Place them into a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth. Set the mango puree aside for use in the mousse.
- Whip the cream: Using a chilled mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream together with powdered sugar and vanilla bean paste or extract (if using) until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy whipped cream.
- Fold in the mango: Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream carefully until fully combined and no visible streaks remain, ensuring a uniform mousse texture without deflating the cream.
- Pipe and chill: Transfer the mango mousse mixture into a piping bag. If the mousse feels too runny to pipe, refrigerate the piping bag for 1 hour to help it firm up before piping into serving glasses or bowls.
- Set and serve: Place the filled serving dishes in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the mousse to set perfectly and enhance the flavor meld.
- Decorate and serve: Just before serving, garnish the mousse with fresh mango cubes and mint leaves for a colorful, fresh, and inviting presentation.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Ensure the heavy cream is well chilled for easier whipping and firmer peaks.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream.
- The mousse can be made a day ahead to save time and improve flavor development.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the powdered sugar according to your taste and the sweetness of the mangoes.
- For a more intense mango taste, you can add a teaspoon of mango puree during decoration as well.
