Mango Mousse

In the Past:

I once tried out a mango mousse using a recipe from a Tarla Dalal book. At that time had no idea how the texture of a mousse should be. Though the taste was awesome, the texture I realized much later was all wrong. It was set more like a cheesecake than a mousse. Mousse texture should be light, airy, when you spoon it holds its shape but not firm. Remembered, while watching a cookery show on telly the chef mentioned “think of the hair mousse or the shaving mousse”.

Present Day:

After much trial and error, not wanting to use normal jelly or jello (contains collagen from animals) or raw eggs landed with an easy peasy mousse recipe. I use the basic mousse recipe for all the other fruit mousse I make.

Ingredients required for Mango Mousse

• Fresh ripe mango – I prefer to use mangoes that are not fibrous. If they are, its best to sieve or strain the mango puree before making the mousse.
• Whipping cream
• Sugar – best to use powdered sugar
• Lemon juice – balances the flavors
• Agar Agar or Vegetarian Gelatin – for this recipe I’ve used vegetarian gelatin. If you want to use agar agar bear in mind that 1 tsp agar agar powder or 1 tbsp agar agar flakes sets about 1⅓ cups of liquid. I like using Dr. Oetker’s VegeGel.
• Milk or Water – for the gelatin or agar agar
• Saffron Strands – for flavoring
• Cardamom – for flavoring. Cardamom pairs well with mangoes
• Topping of your choice – I used chopped mango and passion fruit pulp. You can add chocolate, nuts, or a mango puree too.

Dietary Tips:

• Gluten free
• Suitable for Vegetarians

• ½ tsp cardamom powder
• 1 sachet(6.5g) vegetarian gelatin
• 3 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1½ cup whipping cream
• ½ cup water or milk
• 10-12 strands saffron
• extra chopped mango for topping
• 2 passion fruits remove the pulp

Instructions

 

• Sprinkle gelatin over the water or milk. Stir gently and leave it aside for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, puree the mango in a food processor or blender.
• Strain it with a sieve if the puree has fibres.
• Add lemon juice,cardamom and saffron to the mango puree and mix well.
• Add sugar to the whipping cream.
• Whip till it forms soft peaks.
• Heat the gelatin mixture and stir till the gelatin melts completely.
• Pour the gelatin mixture into the mango puree mixture and mix well.
• Fold in the whipped cream into the mango puree mixture.
• Divide the mousse between 8 bowls or glasses.
• Cover the bowls or glasses with cling film or small lids.
• Put it in the fridge and allow the mousse to set at least for 6-8 hours or overnight.

Notes

• Add topping of your choice like mango or other fruit puree, nuts, chocolate, other chopped fruits, etc.
• If you don't have vegetarian gelatin, use 2 tbsp agar flakes or 2 tsp agar agar powder. When using agar agar work fast as it tends to set quickly. 
• Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of the mango.
