Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe mangoes
- 1 cup unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon gelatin powder
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the pit. Chop the mangoes into cubes and place them in a blender.
Blend the mango cubes until smooth, creating a mango puree.
In a small bowl, add the cold water and sprinkle the gelatin powder over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
In a saucepan over low heat, gently warm the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mango puree, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and honey. Mix thoroughly.
Add the gelatin mixture to the mango mixture and stir until well incorporated.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture until smooth and well combined.
Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves before serving.
