Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
- 1/2 cup condensed milk (120 ml)
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (60 ml)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (15 g)
Stabilizers and Flavoring:
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (5 ml)
- 1/4 tsp gelatin powder (1 g)
Instructions
- Peel and cube the ripe mangoes, ensuring to remove all fibers and extract maximum pulp for a smooth texture.
- Blend the mango pieces until completely smooth, creating a vibrant golden puree.
- Dissolve gelatin in a tablespoon of warm water, letting it sit for 2-3 minutes to activate and become transparent.
- Whip heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy base.
- Gently fold Greek yogurt, condensed milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into the whipped cream, maintaining its delicate volume.
- Incorporate the dissolved gelatin into the mango puree, stirring until fully integrated and glossy.
- Gradually blend the mango mixture into the cream mixture, using a spatula with gentle folding motions to preserve the mousse’s airiness.
- Transfer the mousse into individual serving glasses or a large decorative bowl, creating smooth, even surfaces.
- Refrigerate for minimum 3-4 hours or overnight, allowing the mousse to set and develop a rich, creamy consistency.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with fresh mango cubes, mint leaves, or a light dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Choose perfectly ripe, fragrant mangoes for maximum sweetness and intense flavor in your mousse.
- Use chilled equipment like bowls and whisks to help whipped cream maintain its fluffy texture and volume.
- Dissolve gelatin carefully at low temperature to prevent clumping and ensure smooth integration into the mixture.
- Fold ingredients gently using a spatula with bottom-to-top circular motions to preserve the mousse’s delicate airiness and prevent deflating the whipped cream.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt or coconut cream to reduce calories and add different flavor profiles.
- Transform the dessert into a vegan option by replacing gelatin with agar-agar and using coconut condensed milk and whipped coconut cream.
- Create individual portion sizes in elegant glasses or ramekins for a sophisticated dessert presentation that’s perfect for dinner parties.
