Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 250 ml heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel the mangoes and cut the flesh away from the pit. Chop the mango flesh and blend it in a blender until smooth to obtain around 1 and 1/2 cups of mango puree.
In a small bowl, add the gelatin and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the bloomed gelatin over low heat until completely dissolved. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a larger bowl, combine the mango puree, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the dissolved gelatin to the mango mixture and mix well to ensure the gelatin is fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks using a mixer.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture in batches, ensuring not to deflate the mix.
Spoon the mango mousse into individual serving glasses or a large serving bowl.
Cover and chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with additional whipped cream or fresh mango slices.
