Ingredients
- 2 large ripe mangoes (about 2 cups chopped), fresh or frozen and thawed
- 1 (13.5 oz / 400ml) can full-fat coconut cream, chilled in the refrigerator overnight
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Fresh mint leaves or extra mango cubes for garnish
Instructions
- **Prepare the Mango:** Peel the mangoes and chop the flesh into chunks. If using frozen mango, thaw completely and drain any excess liquid.
- **Whip Coconut Cream:** Carefully open the chilled can of coconut cream, being careful not to shake it. Scoop out the thick, solidified cream from the top, leaving the watery liquid behind (save the liquid for smoothies if desired). Place the thick cream in a large mixing bowl.
- **Whip until Fluffy:** Using an electric mixer, beat the cold coconut cream on high speed for 3-5 minutes, until light, fluffy, and smooth, resembling whipped cream.
- **Blend Mango Puree:** In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped mango, maple syrup, lime juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- **Fold Together:** Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped coconut cream until just combined and streak-free. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the mousse.
- **Chill and Set:** Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses, ramekins, or a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.
- **Serve:** Garnish with fresh mint leaves or extra mango cubes, if desired, and serve cold. Enjoy your tropical delight!
