Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe mangoes
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 sprig fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the mangoes, remove the pits, and cut the flesh into chunks. Puree the mango chunks in a blender until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the puree for garnish (optional).
In a small bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin and cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10–15 seconds, or until fully dissolved. Let it cool slightly but not allow it to set.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and granulated sugar, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Fold the mango puree into the whipped cream in batches, gently combining them to retain the light texture. Once fully incorporated, mix in the dissolved gelatin, folding carefully to ensure an even distribution.
Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving glasses or dessert bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Before serving, top with a dollop of reserved mango puree (if using) and garnish with mint leaves for a fresh touch.
