Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized ripe mangoes
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 4 optional (for garnish) fresh mint leaves
- 4 optional (for garnish) mango slices
Instructions
Peel and dice the mangoes, then blend them into a smooth puree. Set aside.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Gently heat the bloomed gelatin in a microwave or over a double boiler until fully dissolved. Let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mango puree, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and powdered sugar until smooth and homogeneous.
Stir the dissolved gelatin into the mango mixture, ensuring it is evenly incorporated.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mousse.
Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops with a spatula if desired.
Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the mousse sets.
Before serving, garnish each portion with fresh mint leaves and a slice of mango for added elegance, if desired.
