Method
Preparation
- Peel and chop the mangoes into small pieces, then puree them in a blender until smooth.
- In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and water. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it blooms, then heat in the microwave for approximately 10-15 seconds until fully dissolved.
Mixing
- In a large bowl, mix the pureed mango with sugar and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Gently fold in the dissolved gelatin mixture.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, being careful not to over-whip.
- Gradually fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture until smooth and even.
Layering and Chilling
- Place the sponge cake or graham cracker crust in a springform pan and pour the mango mousse over the top. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until the mousse has set.
Serving
- Once set, carefully remove from the pan and slice into portions. Garnish with fresh fruit or mint if desired.
Notes
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze in portions for up to a month.
