Steps

Prepare Mango

Peel the mangoes, cut the flesh from the pit, then blend until smooth using an immersion blender or food processor. If necessary, strain through a fine sieve for a perfectly smooth puree. Soak gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes, or if using powdered gelatin, mix with 2 tbsp cold water and let it bloom.

Dissolve Gelatin

Squeeze excess water from the gelatin sheets, then place them in a small saucepan with the lime juice. Heat over low heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved, but do not boil. If using powdered gelatin, heat the bloomed gelatin with the lime juice until dissolved. Stir the dissolved gelatin into the mango puree.

Whip Cream

In a cold bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture in several batches until you achieve a uniform, airy consistency.

Chill & Serve

Divide the mousse dessert into 4 glasses or bowls. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, but ideally overnight, to allow it to set completely and for the flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh mango cubes or mint leaves before serving.

Extra Tips

► For the perfect mousse, make sure both the cream and the bowl are very cold before whipping.

► If you don't have fresh mangoes, you can use frozen mango puree; just thaw it and drain any excess water.

► Garnish with fresh mango cubes, mint leaves, or a little grated lime zest before serving.
