Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon gelatin (or agar-agar for a vegetarian option)
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Prepare the Gelatin: In a small bowl, combine the gelatin with water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms.
- Blend Mango: In a blender, puree the diced mangoes until smooth. If desired, strain the puree to remove any fibers.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate the mixture. In a microwave or on a stovetop, heat the bloomed gelatin until dissolved, then mix it into the mango and cream mixture.
- Chill: Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Serve: Garnish with additional mango slices or whipped cream before serving.
