Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1-2 cups mango puree (sweetened)
  • Sugar (optional - add to mango puree if needed)
  • Pinch of salt
  • For a firmer mousse, add 1 packet gelatin to the mango puree (after following package directions). Always strain the extra gelatin bits out before mixing with the mousse.

Method
 

  1. Pour your cream into a large bowl and whisk until you see the top thicken. It should make soft peaks, you can also whip it less if you want a less airy dessert but don’t overwhip.
  2. Then add in your mango puree and a light pinch of salt. (I'm using an already sweetened store bought puree, but you can blend your own mangoes with some sugar to make the puree also. )
  3. Gently fold everything together until very well incorporated.
  4. Pour your mousse into small serving cups, wrap with cling film , and refrigerate for a couple hours until it sets.
  5. Once set, you can add any toppings you like, I keep it simple by adding the same leftover mango puree from earlier, and some beautiful dried rose petals.
  6. Put back in the fridge if serving later, always serve chilled.
