Easy Mango Mousse
Ingredients
- 1.5 tsp gelatin
- 4 tbsp water
- 2 cups whipping cream
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 ½ - 1 ¾ cup mango puree (see notes)
- ½ tsp cardamom powder (optional)
Instructions
- Sprinkle powdered gelatin over the water and let it sit for 4-5 minutes.
- Heat the mixture for 20-30 seconds in the microwave and stir - the gelatin should dissolve entirely
- Whip 2 cups of cream in a large bowl on medium speed until soft peaks form - this can take anywhere from 4-8 minutes.
- Add the sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. When you lift your beaters from the cream it make peaks that will stand up
- Beat in your mango puree and cardamom powder, you may need to scrape the bowl from the bottom with a spatula to fold in your puree (see video) to evenly incorporate it. Do not stir!
- Pour your gelatin in through a sieve and beat for 10 seconds.
- Transfer the mango mousse into your serving dish or dishes and chill for at least two hours. Keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
I left a range for the mango puree because 1 ½ will give you a lovely pleasant mango taste and 1 ¾ a more robust one. Pick whatever you prefer!
