Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe mango (or any tropical fruit like passionfruit or guava)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
- 0.25 cups water
- 0.5 cups heavy cream (optional, for added richness)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 sprigs fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cube the mango (or chosen fruit) and blend it into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor.
In a small saucepan, add the water and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to fully bloom.
Gently heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously, until the gelatin completely dissolves. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil.
In a mixing bowl, combine the fruit puree, dissolved gelatin mixture, granulated sugar, lime juice, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until well combined, and the sugar has fully dissolved.
If adding heavy cream for richness, whip the cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the fruit and gelatin mixture until well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into a siphon whipped cream dispenser. Charge it with one or two N2O cartridges (follow your siphon’s instructions for proper use). Shake the dispenser vigorously for 10-15 seconds to mix.
Dispense the foam into serving glasses or bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set and infuse flavors.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and additional fruit slices, if desired, for presentation.
