This refreshing Mango Mousse recipe is a quick and easy dessert that combines the natural sweetness of ripe mangoes with creamy condensed milk and heavy cream. With a zesty lime twist and optional mint garnish, this no-bake mousse delivers a light, smooth texture and tropical flavor perfect for warm days or special occasions.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 4 large mangoes (about 2 cups blended)
  • 1 lime (zest only)

Dairy and Others

  • 1 can condensed milk (approximately 14 oz)
  • 8 oz heavy cream (or creme de leite)
  • Fresh mango chunks, for topping
  • Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Blend Mangoes: Add the peeled and chopped mango pieces to a blender and blend until completely smooth, ensuring a creamy base for the mousse.
  2. Reserve Puree: Pour half of the mango purée into a separate bowl and set it aside. This reserved portion will be used later as a topping to enhance flavor and presentation.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Return the remaining mango purée to the blender. Add the condensed milk and heavy cream (or creme de leite). Blend briefly just until the mixture is smooth and combined to maintain a light, airy texture.
  4. Divide Mousse: Evenly divide the mousse mixture into 4 small jars or dessert glasses, preparing individual servings.
  5. Add Toppings: Spoon the reserved mango purée on top of each mousse serving. Garnish with fresh mango chunks and sprinkle with lime zest for a zesty, colorful finish.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 to 3 hours to allow the mousse to set and chill thoroughly before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a tropical twist.
  • Ensure the mangoes are ripe for natural sweetness and best flavor.
  • Do not overblend in step 3 to keep the mousse light and airy.
  • The mousse can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Mint leaves add a fresh aroma but are optional.
