Servings 4
Ingredients
- 450 gram 1 lbs Mango Flesh from 2 large mangoes
- 30 gram 2 tbsp Honey
- 30 ml 2 tbsp Lime Juice about 1 large lime
- 1 tsp Lime Zest from 1 large lime
- 250 ml 1 cup Heavy or Thickened Cream very cold
Instructions
- Take your ripe mango flesh, cut into cubes, and blend it with the honey, lime juice, and a touch of zest until the mixture is completely smooth and silky. Pour this puree into a large bowl and set it ready.
- In a separate bowl, add the very cold cream and whip it until it holds firm peaks. The cream should be thick and airy, but still smooth.
- Now, gently combine the two. Add the whipped cream to the mango mixture in three to four additions, folding carefully each time so the mixture stays light and delicate.
- Spoon the mousse into your serving cups and leave it to rest until it sets, about three hours or so.
- Just before serving, finish it with a spoonful of mango coulis or a few fresh mango slices on top for a bright, fresh touch.
Notes
- This dessert is meant to be soft and creamy, sitting somewhere between a pudding and a mousse. If you prefer it firmer, you may stabilise it by adding gelatine or a little cornstarch as needed.
- For the mango, if you are using frozen fruit, be sure it is fully thawed and well drained so no excess liquid remains.
- For the cream, it must contain at least 30% fat, otherwise it will not whip properly.
