Ingredients

  • 450 g mango puree/pulp (from fresh or frozen) from approximately 3 mangoes (plus extra for decoration)
  • 250 ml thickened cream 35% milk fat with included thickeners
  • 1 teaspoon powdered gelatine
  • 1-2 tablespoon icing sugar (confectioners sugar/powdered sugar) as needed

Instructions

  • Place 2 tablespoons of cold water into a small shallow bowl.
  • Sprinkle gelatine over the surface of the water and allow to sit for 3 - 5 minutes. This allows the gelatine to "bloom" or rehydrate.
    1 teaspoon powdered gelatine
  • Then sit the base of this bowl into a larger bowl then pour boiling water into the larger bowl to warm and dissolve the gelatine, whisking with a fork to blend out any lumps.
  • Meanwhile, whip the cream to medium peaks with a hand-held mixer or a stand mixer (be careful not to overwhip).
    250 ml thickened cream
  • Using a spatula, gently fold mango puree into whipped cream, adding icing sugar as needed.
    450 g mango puree/pulp (from fresh or frozen)

Notes

  • This recipe makes 3 cups of mousse.
  • The cream needs to be really cold to whip properly.
  • Be careful not to overwhip the thickened cream or it will take on a grainy texture.
  • Gently fold the mango pulp into the cream. You don't want to deflate the air bubbles that we just incorporated into the cream when it was whipped.
  • The variety and level of sweetness of the mangoes will change the amount of sugar you need to add to the mousse.
  • As this is a set dessert, you need to pour it into your serving glasses/dishes of choice to then set in the fridge.
