Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe mangoes
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 pieces mango slices
- 4 pieces mint leaves
Instructions
Peel and dice the ripe mangoes. Blend the mango pieces in a blender until smooth to create a mango puree.
Add the ginger paste to the mango puree and mix well. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine unflavored gelatin and water. Allow it to bloom for 5 minutes, then gently heat it in the microwave or on the stove until fully dissolved. Let it cool slightly.
Fold the dissolved gelatin into the mango-ginger puree, ensuring it is evenly incorporated.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the mango-ginger puree into the whipped cream, making sure not to deflate the mixture.
Divide the mousse evenly into 4 serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops with a spoon if necessary.
Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
Before serving, garnish each mousse with a slice of fresh mango and a mint leaf for a pop of color and freshness.
