Mousse is basically a soft food that has light and airy texture . Texture of mousse depends on air bubbles that is incorporated by whipping the cream. Mousse are typically made with whipped egg whites or whipped cream or both . Depending on preparation techniques , mousse can range from light and fluffy to creamy and thick . Also mousses are typically chilled before serving as it gives them a denser texture.
How to make Mango Mousse Recipe
To make this Mango mousse recipe , I have used Alphonso mango . I prefer using Alphonso mango as it is more sweet and gives the robust mango flavors. You can use other variety also , but just make sure mangoes are well ripped and is sweeter in taste. Also instead of whipped cream I have lightly whipped low fat Amul fresh cream for this recipe , this gives a light mousse . Here I’m just being modest on using cream and cutting on calories, if you wish you can add heavy whipped cream . Also amount of sugar I used is just 1 Tbsp , It was enough as mangoes were really sweet , you can add more if needed.
In fact for my everyday eat treats I would prefer eating healthy and tasty without loading on extra calories. If you have been following my recipes by now , you would know it by now. Hence I have not used heavy whipped cream here , you can reserve it for special occasions or to treat your guests. And also its not needed as mango puree will be thick enough and setting in a refrigerator would give a denser dessert , but as it will not be readily available all time in kitchen pantry , you can make mousse with just cream also .
You can easily double , triple or half the recipe. For every 1 cup of mango pulp , I have used 1/2 cup cream and 1 Tbsp of sugar . Depending on your taste and sweetness of mango you can increases or decrease the amount of sugar in the recipe. So whats stopping you , try this comparatively less calorie , easy mango mouse recipe without gelatin to treat your taste buds.
