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 the cubes in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside the mango puree 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 with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, ensuring the cream is fluffy and holds shape.
- Fold in the mango: Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream using a spatula. Mix carefully until the mixture is fully combined and there are no streaks, maintaining the mousse’s airy texture.
- Pipe and chill: Transfer the mango mousse into a piping bag. If the mousse feels too runny, place the piping bag in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up before piping into serving glasses or bowls.
- Set and serve: Refrigerate the piped mousse for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set firmly and develop its creamy texture.
- Decorate and serve: Just before serving, garnish the mango mousse with fresh mango cubes and mint leaves for a fresh, vibrant presentation.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping to achieve stiff peaks easily.
- Folding gently preserves the airy texture of the mousse; avoid overmixing.
- If you prefer a less sweet mousse, reduce the powdered sugar to taste.
- The mousse can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Vanilla bean paste is optional but adds a lovely aroma and flavor.
