Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup mango pulp (or 1 fresh ripe mango, pureed)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
