    What is Mango Mousse?

    Mango Mousse is a combination of pureed mangoes and whipped cream. The first step is to puree the mangoes and then prepare the whipped cream. Once done, add the mango puree along with powdered sugar and Indian flavors for a delicious summer dessert.

    Can I make gluten-free / vegan mango mousse?

    Mango Mousse is gluten-free.

    For a vegan option, you can certainly use coconut milk to make Coconut Whipped Cream. Also, instead of whole milk, use dairy-free milk for the milk-saffron mixture.

    Tips on making Mango Mousse:

    • Puree the mangoes. You'll need to adjust the powdered sugar based on how sweet your mango is. Alternatively, you can use canned mango puree, however you'll have to modify the sugar since it tends to be sweeter.
    • Do NOT over mix the heavy whipping cream else you'll end up with butter. Make sure light and airy stiff white peaks form and that's when you have whipped cream.
    • In order for this mousse to taste amazing, it needs to be refrigerated for a few hours. The flavors marry together and you end up with such a lovely flavor of mango.
    • Serve this mousse in little martini glasses.
    • Garnish with edible silver leaf, pistachios, and small cubes of mango.
