🔪 How to Make Mango Mousse
Add the chopped fresh mango, lime juice and honey into a bullet blender or food processor.
Blend until the mango is pureed.
In a mixing bowl, add in the heavy cream and whip using a hand mixer until you have stiff peaks.
Take ⅔ of the mango puree (reserving the other ⅓) and slowly (in about 3 additions) fold it into the whipped cream.
Add the mousse into a piping bag or food storage bag, cut the tip off and this will make it easier to add the mousse into your glasses.
Take some of the reserved mango puree and add some on the bottom of your serving glasses.
Pipe in some of the mousse, about halfway up the glass.
Then add another layer of the mango puree.
Add more of the mousse and top with small chunks of mango on top. Allow to chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving.
💡 Tips
- While the layered mango mousse makes for a beautiful presentation, it's certainly not necessary that you create the layers. You can instead, continue folding in all of the mango puree, resulting in a more flavorful mousse.
- This mousse makes a great make ahead dessert, that you can assemble in advance and just garnish right before serving it.
- If your mango is super sweet and ripe, add the honey in slowly. Start with just one teaspoon and give it a quick taste. You can always add more in after, if needed.
- Take your time folding in. the mango puree, so you don't deflate the fluffy whipped cream. This will make for a light and airy mousse.

☑️ Storage Instructions
You store leftover mango mousse in airtight jars for 2-3 days.
