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. Remember 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
