HOW TO MAKE MANGO MOUSSE?

Step 3: Spoon the eggless mango mousse into your serving dish and then refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.
Final step: Serve!
SERVING MANGO MOUSSE
For the first try, I recommend trying the mango dessert as-is. No embellishments. You love the light, fresh, and a whole lot of mango flavor.
- If you’ve got guests coming over, then top with more mango purée and a sprig of mint leaves for that lovely green pop.
- Or you can layer mango purée and mousse while setting it in the dish.
- Crown it with a dollop of whipped cream, mango bits, and a light sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
MANGO MOUSSE (EGGLESS) INGREDIENTS
Cream: Since it is so easily available, I used Amul cream. It has about 25% fat, so it’s not as easy to whip. A trick that I’ve learned works like a magic spell is to chill the cream, the bowl you’re going to use, and the beater. Place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
The more fat the cream has, the easier it is to whip it. So you can easily use double-whipping cream also.
If you’re making mango mousse with cream that has 30 to 35% fat, be careful not to over-whip, or it’ll turn into butter.
Sugar: The reason I want you to make this mango dessert with icing sugar is that the cornstarch in it is stabilizing, which helps form the peaks. So, if you’re using low-fat cream, stick to icing sugar.
For those using a cream with a higher fat content, both honey and caster sugar are good substitutes.
HOW TO MAKE MANGO PURÉE?
You can make mango purée from scratch at home with any variety of mango that is readily available to you. Just make sure they’re not fibrous. I used Alphonso because their juicy, smooth flesh lends itself to an almost cloud-soft purée. But Safeda or Dasheri are fantastic choices too. You can even mix a few varieties.
With mousse, you need a satiny finish to the purée. If you feel that blitzing the fruit is not giving you that smooth texture, strain the purée, so there is no chance of any tiny fibers sneaking through.
In case your corner of the world doesn’t have fresh mangos, Indian grocery stores stock good-quality canned mango puree. You can easily use that.
VARIATIONS OF THIS NO-BAKE MANGO DESSERT
It’s easy to make this mango whipped cream dessert extra indulgent with just a tweak here and there:
- A hint of lemon zest will make the mango mousse zing, especially if your mangoes are too sweet.
- Finely ground cardamom powder would give it an Indian touch, very similar to mango shrikhand.
Vegan: Replace regular cream with any plant-based cream to make vegan mango mousse. Since you can find coconut cream without any trouble, it’s a great choice. Chill it, and then use only the solid part that floats on top. Don’t shake the can to mix the layers. Leave the liquid sediment alone.
SOME NOTES ON THIS MANGO MOUSSE DESSERT
- When mixing the mango purée with whipped cream, don’t use vigorous movements.
- Chilling the mousse will firm it up, it will be just spoon-ably soft.
- My recommendation? Make it the morning you’re going to be serving this no-bake mango dessert.
- How much sugar or honey you need for this recipe for mango mousse depends on the sweetness of your fruit. I barely needed a tablespoon. You may need more if the mangos are tart. I always say, "Taste test," and then adjust by adding as little or as much sugar as required.
