Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces ripe mangoes
- 200 grams plain yoghurt
- 150 ml heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and chop the ripe mangoes into small chunks. Reserve a few small pieces for garnishing, if desired.
Blend the mango chunks in a blender until smooth to create a mango puree. Set aside.
In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk the plain yoghurt and powdered sugar together until smooth.
Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10–15 seconds or until fully dissolved, but do not let it boil.
Add the dissolved gelatin to the mango puree and mix well to combine.
Gently fold the mango puree into the yoghurt mixture until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream into the mango-yoghurt mixture until smooth and airy, ensuring not to overmix.
Divide the mousse mixture evenly into 4 serving glasses or ramekins.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set.
Optional: Garnish with reserved mango chunks and fresh mint leaves before serving.
