How to Make It

Here’s how to create this delectable mango mousse:

Prepare the mangoes

Peel and cut fresh mangoes into small pieces. If using frozen mangoes, allow them to thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Make the mango puree

Blend the mango pieces in a blender or food processor until smooth. Taste the puree; if it’s tart, add maple syrup to your desired sweetness. Set aside.

Whip the coconut cream

In a large bowl, combine the coconut cream and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is whipped and fluffy (soft peaks). Reserve half of the whipped coconut cream for serving.

Fold in the mango puree

Gently fold the mango puree into the half of the whipped coconut cream until well combined.

Portion the mousse

Pour the mango mousse into individual serving glasses or a large serving dish. For a decorative touch, create layers with the reserved whipped coconut cream or save it for topping later.

Chill the mousse

Let the mango mousse set in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight for optimal texture and flavor.

Serve the mousse

Garnish with fresh fruit or mint leaves before serving. Add a squeeze of lime juice to enhance the flavors.

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: No, it affects texture and taste.
Reheat: N/A, serve cold.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the mangoes are fully ripe for the best flavor.
• Avoid over-mixing the mousse to maintain its airy texture.
• Chill the serving dishes to keep the mousse cooler for longer.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair it with fresh tropical fruits for a vibrant dessert spread.
• Serve alongside a refreshing citrus salad for a balanced meal.
• Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for an additional touch of sweetness.
