Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 7 oz (200 g) Mango from about 2 medium mangoes
- 1 cup (240 ml) Heavy cream, cold
- 4 tablespoons (30 g) Powdered sugar
Optional Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean paste or extract
- Mint leaves for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the mango puree: Peel and cut the mangoes into cubes. Place them in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set the mango puree aside for later use.
- Whip the cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla bean paste or extract if using. Beat the mixture until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream is fluffy and firm.
- Fold in the mango: Gently incorporate the mango puree into the whipped cream by folding carefully until fully combined and no streaks remain. This helps maintain the airy texture of the mousse.
- Pipe and chill: Transfer the mousse mixture into a piping bag. If the mousse feels too runny to pipe, refrigerate the piping bag for about 1 hour to firm it up before piping into serving glasses or bowls.
- Set and serve: Refrigerate the piped mousse for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set and develop its delicate texture.
- Decorate and serve: Just before serving, garnish the mousse with fresh mango cubes and mint leaves for a fresh, colorful presentation.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Chilling the mixing bowl and beaters will help the cream whip faster and achieve better volume.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, you can simply spoon the mousse into serving dishes.
- This mousse is best served chilled and consumed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
- The mousse can be made a day ahead, which helps the flavors meld and the texture improve.
- Vanilla is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor.
