Ingredients
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup mango pulp (or 1 fresh ripe mango, pureed)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on high speed to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This usually takes about 5-8 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat the cream to avoid it turning grainy or buttery.
- Prepare the mango mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the mango pulp and brown sugar. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Fold mango into whipped cream: Gradually add the mango mixture to the whipped cream. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the two together to maintain the airy texture. Avoid over mixing to keep the mousse light and fluffy.
- Chill the mousse: Spoon the mango mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow it to set properly. For best results, chill overnight.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, optionally decorate the mousse with freshly chopped mango pieces, coconut flakes, and mint leaves for added flavor and presentation. Enjoy this refreshing dessert chilled.
Notes
- Use fresh ripe mangoes for best flavor, or high-quality canned mango pulp if fresh is unavailable.
- Do not overwhip the cream to prevent it from curdling into butter.
- Gently folding the mango mixture preserves the mousse’s light, airy texture.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours, ideally overnight, for the best consistency.
- Optional toppings such as coconut flakes and mint add extra flavor and visual appeal.
