Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the mangoes: Start by peeling and chopping 2 large ripe mangoes. Make sure to remove the pit and cut the flesh into chunks.
- Blend the mango mixture: In your blender, combine the mango chunks, 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth, and set aside.
- Whip the cream: In a separate mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream. Using a hand mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip; you want it to be airy, not grainy.
- Combine the mixtures: Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula. Start with a small amount of whipped cream to lighten the mango mixture, then fold in the rest until fully combined.
- Add sweetness: Taste the mousse and add sugar to your liking. Start with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and adjust based on the sweetness of the mangoes.
- Chill: Transfer the mousse into your serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Serve: Once chilled, garnish with additional whipped cream, fresh mango slices, or lime zest for a pop of color. Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical delight!
Notes
Use fresh, ripe mangoes for the best flavor. You can substitute coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
