Fruit
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed
Sweetener
- 2 tbsp honey (or to taste)
Dairy
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Ripe mango slices, for serving
- Prepare the mango puree: Place the peeled and cubed mangoes along with the honey into a blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth to create a sweet and fragrant mango puree.
- Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. This process usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes and results in a light, airy texture.
- Combine mango puree and whipped cream: Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream using a spatula. Carefully mix until the puree is fully incorporated without deflating the cream, ensuring the mousse remains light and fluffy.
- Chill the mousse: Spoon the combined mixture into serving glasses. Place them in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is fully set and firm.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish each mousse with fresh ripe mango slices for an elegant presentation and added burst of mango flavor. Enjoy this refreshing dessert cold.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Adjust honey quantity according to the sweetness of mangoes and personal preference.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with whipped coconut cream to make it dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
- Chilling time is essential to allow the mousse to set properly and develop its texture.
- This recipe serves 4, so scale ingredients accordingly for more servings.
