Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized fresh ripe mango
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel and dice the mangoes, discarding the pit. Place the mango pieces in a blender and blend until you have a smooth puree. You should have about 1 cup of mango puree.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tablespoons of cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the almond milk and half of the powdered erythritol, stirring until it starts to steam. Do not let it boil.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm almond milk mixture and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the remaining powdered erythritol and the vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream mixture until well combined.
Slowly pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the mango and cream mixture, gently folding to maintain the airiness.
Divide the mixture evenly into individual serving cups or bowls.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
Serve chilled. Optional: garnish with fresh mango slices or mint leaves before serving.
