Mango Mousse

🍰 Desserts

Mango pulp folded into cream, the tropical mousse that sets in glasses. Smooth, wobbly and elegant — restaurant-simple, home-easy. Serve chilled, straight from the fridge, in small glasses or ramekins.

Prep 21 min Cook 12 min Serves 6 Easy

Ingredients

  • Heavy Cream1/4 cup
  • Salta pinch
  • Milk2 cups
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Mango2, pureed
  • Gelatin2 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather everything before you start — custards punish multitasking.

  2. 2

    Warm the milk with the heavy cream gently until steaming, not boiling, so the base stays smooth.

  3. 3

    Whisk the mango with the sugar, then temper with a ladle of the hot milk, whisking hard.

  4. 4

    Stir over medium-low until it visibly thickens, eight to ten minutes — patience here is everything.

  5. 5

    Chill until fully set — overnight is best — and finish with a scatter of gelatin.

Chef's tip

Salt is the missing ingredient in most home desserts — a small pinch makes chocolate and caramel taste more like themselves.
