Ingredients

Before you start to make this recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the cooking process will go smoothly and easily.

Full measurements are in the recipe card below.

Mango-we used ripe fresh mango for this recipe, but frozen mango can work as well. Make sure you thaw it first and then blend it.

You will need the mangos for making mango puree. Make the mango puree by peeling the mango and blending it in ablenderorfood processoruntil smooth.

Heavy whipping cream-make use that your heavy whipping cream is cold from the fridge, that way it will whip faster.

Powder sugar-you will need powdered sugar for this recipe. you don’t have to buy powdered sugar, you can make it at home by blending granulated sugar in ablenderorfood processor.

Instant vanilla pudding-our secret ingredient to make this cheesecake stable and even more delish!

Instructions

Make the mango puree: blend the mangos into afood processoror a mixer until the mango puree is creamy and smooth. Scoop ½ cup of the mango puree and set it aside for the topping.

Expert Tips

  • A single mango mousse cup will serve 2-3 people.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowlfrequently to ensure that you have a hom*ogeneous mixture that has no cream cheese lumps.
  • Let your dessert chillin the fridge for at least 3 hours. We know it’s very hard to resist eating this delicious dessert right away, but you have to let it chill and soak up the flavors. We like to let it sit in the fridge overnight.
  • Use COLD heavy cream for this.Cold heavy cream whips faster and holds its shape beautifully. Room temperature cream will whip as well, but will take way longer!
  • In order to speed up this processand make the cream whip quicker, place the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes before whipping the mixture.
  • You can use a cool whip instead of freshly made whipped creamif you are short on time for the topping.
  • Use ripe mangos for this recipe!The mangos you use make a big difference in the flavor of the mousse. If you have sweet and ripe mangos, that's great! If you have sour mangos, I would recommend adding more sugar.

Faq's

What is the difference between custard and mousse?

Custard is a creamy dessert made from a mixture of milk or cream, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. It is typically cooked on the stovetop or baked in the oven until it thickens to a smooth consistency.

On the other hand, mousse is a light and airy dessert made by folding whipped cream or egg whites into a base mixture of ingredients such as chocolate, fruit puree, or gelatin.

Mousse has a fluffy texture and is often chilled before serving. While custard has a rich and velvety mouthfeel, mousse offers a lighter and more delicate experience.

What is mango mousse made of?

Mango mousse is very easy to make, it is made with mango puree, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and finally a thickening agent which in this case is instant pudding.

How to make mango puree?

Making mango puree is very easy, you simply peel and cut the mangoes into small pieces, and blend them in the blender or in a food processor until you get a smooth puree.

How long does it take for this to set in the fridge?

This needs to be set in the fridge for at least 8 hours. We let it set overnight for the best results.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes! You can double or triple this recipe. There is an option to automatically double, half, or triple this recipe in the recipe card below!

Storing

Store this dessert in the fridge (because it contains dairy) covered tightly with plastic wrap for up to 3 days. I like eating this the day after.

Freezing

If you want to freeze these dessert cups, make these in plastic cups and wrap the top with plastic wrap. Then, transfer them into the freezer and freeze them for up to 2 months.

Thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for 1-2 hours. You can eat it right out of the fridge for a frozen dessert!

Substitutions

Dairy-free-to make this dessert dairy-free, you can swap the heavy cream with vegan heavy cream or full-fat coconut cream.

Add-ins- add your favorite add-ins to the mango mousse mixture like white chocolate chips, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, etc.

Orange juice and zest- add a squeeze of fresh orange juice to the mixture for extra flavor and delicious citrus flavor.

You can also add 1 teaspoon of orange zest for a delicious flavor. You can do so with fresh lemon as well!
