Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) powdered sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon juice
Optional Stabilizers:
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 grams) gelatin
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Peel and dice ripe mangoes, then transform them into a silky-smooth puree using a blender, straining to eliminate any stringy fibers for an ultra-refined texture.
- Whip chilled heavy cream with delicate powdered sugar and aromatic vanilla extract until it forms soft, billowy peaks that hold their shape effortlessly.
- Dissolve gelatin in a splash of zesty lemon juice, ensuring complete integration without lumps.
- Delicately incorporate the vibrant mango puree into the cloud-like whipped cream, folding gently to maintain the airy consistency and prevent deflation.
- Pour the luminous mixture into elegant serving vessels, creating smooth, even surfaces.
- Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until the mousse sets into a luxurious, trembling consistency that wobbles slightly when touched.
- Just before serving, adorn with fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of finely chopped pistachios for a subtle crunch and visual appeal.
- Chill thoroughly to 40°F (4°C) to achieve the perfect mousse texture and enhance flavor melding.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of powdered sugar, tasting as you blend to achieve your perfect balance.
- Choose ripe, fragrant mangoes for the most intense and natural flavor profile in your mousse.
- Prevent separation by folding mango puree gently into whipped cream, using a figure-eight motion to maintain the cream’s airy texture.
- Transform this dessert into a vegan option by substituting heavy cream with coconut cream and using agar-agar instead of gelatin for setting.
