Quick and Easy Eggless Mango Mousse

Quick and Easy Eggless Mango Mousse

     Mango mousse is one of the easiest desserts you could ever make, and all it needs is just two ingredients! 

     One ingredient that is essential for a good mango mousse is whipping cream. You can use soy cream which is already sweetened or you can use full fat dairy whipping cream, but using whipping cream is essential as you will not get the desired texture with low fat cream. 

     Mango mousse is such a light, sweet, creamy, airy and elegant dessert that it will win the heart of anyone for sure. I thought I will just take a few spoons, but ended up eating an entire bowl. 

     All you need are two ingredients- mangoes and cream. This is so luscious and lighter and easier to make than mango ice cream.  And if you don't find whipping cream, make mango cream with simple cream or this luscious dudh keri with just mangoes and milk.

     Mangoes are one of those fruits that can be combined with dairy if you are making a traditional dessert like aamrakhand that has been made for hundreds of years or dudh keri that is eaten with chapatis or puris, both being my favourites. 

     But if you want to make something modern and contemporary, using the king of fruits, make mango mousse. This is sure to make your heart sing!

Ingredients:

• 500 ml (2 cups) chilled whipping cream 
• 3 large or 4 medium sized mangoes

Method:

1. Peel the mangoes and cut them into cubes. Add the mangoes and the chilled cream into a blender and blend on high speed for 4 to 5  minutes until the cream is thick and the mango is well blended and nicely incorporated into the cream.
2. Alternately, whip cream until stiff peaks form using a hand blender or a stand mixer. Blend mangoes into a thick puree and slowly fold the mangoes into the whipped cream. 
3. Pour into one large bowl or 6 individual bowls. Chill for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Decoratively arrange fresh mango pieces over the mousse and serve chilled.
4. I used sweetened soy cream so I did not add additional sugar. If you are using unsweetened cream add 4 to 6 tbsp or more of powdered or confectioners sugar.
5. I made this in a high speed blender. You can also make this using a hand blender or stand mixer as stated in the alternative procedure in the recipe.
