Creamy Mango Mousse

Creamy Mango Mousse

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed (or 1 cup mango puree)
• 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
• 1/4 cup condensed milk (adjust to taste for sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, to balance the sweetness)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mango Puree:
   • In a blender or food processor, blend the mango cubes until smooth to create a mango puree.
   • If using pre-made mango puree, measure out 1 cup. Add lemon juice if you prefer a hint of tanginess.
2. Whip the Cream:
   • In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to over-whip, as it can turn grainy.
3. Combine Mango and Condensed Milk:
   • In a separate bowl, mix the mango puree with condensed milk. Taste the mixture to adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
4. Fold in the Whipped Cream:
   • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango-condensed milk mixture, taking care to keep the mousse light and airy. Fold until well combined and smooth.
5. Chill the Mousse:
   • Pour the mango mousse into serving glasses or a dish, smoothing the top if desired.
   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set.
6. Serve:
   • Serve chilled, and garnish with fresh mango slices, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of grated chocolate, if desired.

This mango mousse is light, fluffy, and packed with mango flavor. It’s a delightful treat that’s quick to prepare and perfect for any occasion!
