This is a simple 3-ingredient recipe - No eggs or gelatin needed!

Unbelievably creamy and light!

The perfect balance of sweet and tart, it's the ideal finish to any meal.

It's a great last-minute dessert as it comes together in minutes!

Whether serving guests or treating yourself, this mango mousse looks fancy with such low effort!

Recipe Ingredients

Ingredients for making mango mousse.

Mango puree: You can use homemade or store-bought mango puree. More details are below!

Cream: It's best to use heavy cream with at least 35% fat. The more fat the cream has, the easier it is to whip it. Be careful not to over-whip the cream or it’ll turn into butter. The one I used had 25% fat!

Sugar: Icing sugar or powdered sugar is best for this recipe. It contains cornstarch that helps stabilize the cream.

Variations

It’s easy to make this light and refreshing mango mousse extra indulgent with just a tweak here and there:

  • Add some lemon zest to give a citrus flavor.
  • 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 well, and then use only the solid part that floats on top.

How To Make Mango Mousse

Step 1: Whip chilled cream with icing sugar till you have soft, stiff peaks.

Folding the mango puree into the whipped cream in a bowl.

Step 2: Fold the mango purée into the whipped cream. Do it gently and carefully, so the cream doesn’t lose its airiness.

Step 3: Spoon the eggless mango mousse into your serving dish and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.

Final step: Serve and enjoy!

Pro Tips

  • Mix the mango purée with whipped cream gently.
  • Make sure your cream is CHILLED. To speed things along, you can also place the bowl and beaters in the freezer for 30-40 minutes.
  • 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 you need for this recipe for mango mousse depends on the sweetness of your fruit. You may need more than given in the recipe if the mangos are tart. I always say, "Taste test," and then adjust by adding as little or as much sugar as required.

How To Serve

This mango mousse is wonderful on its own, but you can easily elevate it into a stunning dessert! You can -

  • Top it with mango purée and a sprig of mint leaves for that lovely green pop.
  • Layer mango purée and mousse while setting it in a dessert cup.
  • Add a dollop of whipped cream, mango bits, and a light sprinkle of chopped pistachios.

For a delightful pairing, serve the creamy mango mousse alongside my rose shortbread cookies or nankhatai. Make a little tropical summer dessert spread with mango scones, mango-filled donuts, and mango coconut bread with some refreshing mango margaritas to sip on!

Recipe FAQS

How to make mango puree?

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. You can even mix a few varieties.
Just peel and cut the fruit. Place the mango pieces in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
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.
Feel free to use canned mango puree if fresh mangoes aren't available.

How to whip cream?

Making whipped cream is super easy! Make sure you have heavy whipping cream or double cream. Fat content of 35% or higher is best. We get 25% fat cream here in India, but that also works well.
The cream needs to be CHILLED. The colder the better. For the 25% fat cream, use the solid part after it's chilled.
You can also pop your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 30-40 minutes before using!
Now just add the cold cream to your cold bowl along with the sugar and beat for 2-3 minutes, to get soft peaks. With 25% fat cream, it can take a bit longer.

How to store mango mousse?

This mango mousse will stay well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
