Ingredients
For mousse
- 2 mangoes - sweet, ripe & medium-sized or 1.5 cups chopped
- 1 to 2 tablespoons raw sugar or honey add as required, optional
- ½ cup light cream (25% to 35% fat) or whipping cream

Instructions
Making mango puree
- In a blender, add the chopped mangoes. At this step, you can also add sugar or honey if the mangoes are not overly sweet.
- Blend to a smooth fine puree.
- Make sure to use only sweet tasting mangoes with dairy products. Tangy or sour-sweet mangoes when mixed with cream can cause stomach upsets.
Whipping cream
- Take cream in a bowl. With an electric beater beat the cream until you see soft peaks in it.
- Ensure you don't over whip the cream.
- Add the mango puree to the beaten cream.
- Fold gently to combine the mango puree with the whipped cream.
- Pour or spoon the mango mousse in small shot glasses or bowls. Cover and chill the mousse in the refrigerator for 1 hour to a couple of hours.
Serving suggestions
- Serve mango mousse cold. Garnish any of your preferred toppings from the ingredients mentioned above or enjoy the mousse as is.
