    Easy Mango Mousse Recipe

    When it comes to mousse recipes, it does not get simpler than this. Four ingredients combine to create a luscious, flavorful mango mousse. It is deliciously sweet and tangy. The topical flavor profile is perfect for summertime, but with frozen mango, this recipe can be made anytime. Here is why you will love this recipe:

    • Easy Mango Dessert - Creamy mango mousse is the perfect dessert for a dinner party or any day. With few ingredients and minimal labor, it can be made last minute. Your whole family will love this dessert.
    • Few Ingredients - You need a simple handful of ingredients, only four of them, to make this easy dessert. Use fresh or frozen (thawed) fruit to make the puree. Check ingredients for simple ingredient substitutions.
    • Easy to Make - There is no cooking or baking required. You need a blender, an electric mixer, a bowl, and a rubber spatula.

    Ingredients

    The ingredients you need for this recipe.
    • Mango - Use thawed frozen mango cubes or fresh ripe mangoes cut into chunks.
    • Lime Juice (fresh) - Lime juice adds needed acid to help break down the mango and adds a zesty, zingy flavor. You can swap it for lemon juice or orange juice too.
    • Honey - Honey provides just enough sweetness alongside the mango. If you do not have honey, swap it for maple syrup or simple syrup.
    • Heavy Whipping Cream - Whipped-up heavy cream combines with mango puree to form the mousse.

    See the recipe card for the ingredient quantities.

    Expert Tips

    1. Use a chilled bowl and whisk attachment to whip up the cream.
    2. Use cold heavy whipping cream.
    3. Do not overwhip the heavy cream. Whipped cream can become butter in an instant. Keep a close eye on the cream as it whips.
    4. Fold the mango mixture in carefully so you do not deflate the whipped cream.
    5. Let the mousse set in the refrigerator before eating.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I freeze mango mousse?

    Transfer the mousse to a freezer-safe, sealed container. Freeze it for up to 3 months. Enjoy mousse from frozen or thaw it in the refrigerator. The texture of the mousse will weep slightly after it has thawed.

    Can I use frozen mango to make a mousse?

    Thaw the frozen mango chunks in the refrigerator for one to two hours to soften before using.

    Where can I buy mangoes?

    You can find fresh and frozen mangoes at your local grocery store. Summer is the peak season for mangoes, but frozen mango chunks are available all year round.

    Does mousse thicken in the fridge?

    Mousse does thicken as it chills and sets in the refrigerator. Chilling mousse is crucial to the final texture.
