  • Total Time: 15 minutes plus chilling time
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Mango Mousse Ingredients

  • 1.5 tsp gelatin
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 2 cups whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cup mango puree (see notes)
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bloom Gelatin: Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 4 tablespoons of water and let it sit undisturbed for 4-5 minutes so it softens and blooms.
  2. Dissolve Gelatin: Heat the bloomed gelatin mixture in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, stirring afterwards until the gelatin completely dissolves without any lumps.
  3. Whip Cream Soft Peaks: Using a mixer on medium speed, whip 2 cups of whipping cream in a large bowl until soft peaks form, which generally takes 4-8 minutes. The cream should hold a gentle peak without stiffness.
  4. Add Sugar and Whip to Stiff Peaks: Add 1/3 cup sugar to the whipped cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form, meaning the peaks stand firmly when you lift the beaters.
  5. Fold in Mango Puree and Cardamom: Carefully fold in 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups of mango puree along with 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder if using. Use a spatula to gently incorporate the puree evenly without stirring vigorously to maintain the mousse’s airy texture.
  6. Add Gelatin: Pour the dissolved gelatin through a fine sieve into the mango cream mixture to avoid any lumps, then beat for about 10 seconds just to combine.
  7. Chill to Set: Transfer the mousse mixture into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set. The mousse can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor in your mango puree—Alphonso or Ataulfo mangoes work exceptionally well.
  • The optional cardamom powder adds a warm aromatic note but can be omitted for a pure mango flavor.
  • Make sure not to stir vigorously after adding the mango puree to preserve the mousse’s light and airy texture.
  • Gelatin helps set the mousse—if you want a vegetarian option, consider agar-agar as a substitute but adjust quantities accordingly.
  • The mousse is best served chilled and consumed within 4 days for optimal freshness.
