Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the mangoes into small cubes, ensuring you remove all the flesh from the pit.
Place the diced mangoes in a blender or food processor along with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
In a chilled bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, and continue whipping until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream using a spatula. Do this gradually to create a marbled or swirled effect, or mix completely for a uniform color and flavor.
Spoon the mixture into serving glasses or bowls. Tap the glasses lightly to remove any air bubbles and smooth the tops with a spoon.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving for an added touch of freshness and color.
