Description
Enjoy a light, tropical mango mousse, a no-bake dessert perfect for summer refreshment.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups ripe mango pulp (from fresh mangoes)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: 1 teaspoon lime juice or zest for added tang
Instructions
Prepare the Mango Puree:
- Peel and pit the mangoes. Chop the flesh and blend until smooth to create a fresh mango puree.
Whip the Cream:
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with the sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Avoid over-whipping to maintain a light texture.
Combine:
- Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to incorporate the puree slowly, ensuring the mixture remains airy.
Chill:
- Transfer the combined mixture into serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set properly.
Serve:
- Once set, serve the mango mousse chilled. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of lime zest or fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes

For a dairy-free variation, substitute heavy cream with chilled coconut cream.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango puree to maintain the mousse’s airy texture.
