FAQs
Can I use canned mango instead of fresh?
Fresh mangoes provide the best flavor and texture, but if you use canned mango, choose those packed in juice without added sugar. Drain well and puree before folding into the cream.
How do I know when the cream has reached stiff peaks?
Stiff peaks hold their shape firmly when you lift the beaters out of the cream, standing tall without drooping. This ensures the mousse will have a light and airy texture.

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 7 oz (200 g) Mango (about 2 medium mangoes), peeled and cubed
- 1 cup (240 ml) Heavy cream, cold
- 4 tablespoons (30 g) Powdered sugar
Optional
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
- Mint leaves for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the mango puree: Peel and cut the mangoes into cubes. Place the mango cubes into a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth. Set the mango puree aside for later use.
- Whip the cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the cold heavy cream and powdered sugar. If using vanilla bean paste or extract, add it now. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until stiff peaks form, indicating the cream is firm and holds its shape.
- Fold in the mango: Gently fold the prepared mango puree into the whipped cream using a spatula. Mix carefully until the two components are fully combined, with no streaks of mango or cream remaining, ensuring a smooth mousse consistency.
- Pipe and chill: Transfer the mousse mixture into a piping bag for easy serving. If the mousse feels too loose or runny, refrigerate the piping bag for about 1 hour to firm up before piping into serving glasses or bowls.
- Set and serve: Place the filled serving dishes in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the mousse to set properly and develop its texture.
- Decorate and serve: Just before serving, optionally garnish the mousse with fresh mango cubes and mint leaves for an attractive presentation and additional freshness.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor, such as Ataulfo or Alphonso varieties.
- Chilling the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream helps achieve a better volume and stiffness.
- For a lighter mousse, you can substitute half the heavy cream with whipped coconut cream.
- This recipe is eggless, making it suitable for those with egg allergies or dietary restrictions.
- Keep the mousse refrigerated and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
