Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon gelatin
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice the mangoes into small chunks. Reserve a few pieces for garnish, and puree the rest in a blender until smooth. Set aside.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
Warm the bloomed gelatin gently in the microwave for 10 seconds, or until it dissolves fully. Stir and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer or whisk to whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Add the dissolved gelatin to the mango and cream mixture, and fold it in thoroughly to ensure even mixing.
Spoon the mango creme into individual serving jars or dessert bowls. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
Refrigerate the desserts for at least 2 hours to allow the gelatin to set and the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with reserved mango chunks and mint leaves before serving for a fresh and vibrant presentation.
