Here's a recipe for quick and easy Mango Mousse.



You can find the original recipe at the hot link above. I simply cut out a lot of the wordage and used only what I personally consider to be healthy Paleo ingredients, e.g. using fresh or frozen mangoes rather than the optional canned mangoes etc. Please use whichever recipe you desire.

All you need to make this is:
a blender
9 oz can of coconut cream-chilled in the refrigerator
Flesh of 3 mangoes, or 2 cups of frozen mangoes
1 tbsp of gelatin
1/3 cup of water
A squeeze of lime or lemon
If you desire a sweeter blend additional sweetener of your choice is optional

Chill the can of coconut cream in the fridge for an hour or two or until when you shake it there is no liquid sloshing. If you’re in a cold climate it may already be like this at room temperature, but you need your coconut cream cold or it won’t whip.

Slice up your mango flesh or frozen mangoes.

Soak your gelatin in 1/3 cup of water so it swells. It’s fine to use the juice from squeezed pulp if you prefer.

Place the chilled coconut cream (omit any liquid from the coconut cream), mango flesh and gelatin into a blender or food processor. Whip on high speed until combined and fluffy. The time for this will vary depending on the speed of your motor, but really it should only take a minute or two.

Now taste your mixture. Some mangoes are so sweet that they will need little (if any) extra sweetening. Add a quarter cup of sweetener if desired (less if you feel it only needs a touch) and the squeeze of lime to freshen the flavour, pulse or blend quickly to combine and then taste again and add more sweetener if necessary until you are happy with the levels.

Pour into individual serving dishes or one larger bowl and refrigerate til set. You’ll need at least one hour for this.

You can eat the mousse on its own, or garnish with more mango pieces or other fruit, unsweetened shredded coconut, dark chocolate, a sprig of mint etc. You are pretty much only limited by your imagination and items on hand with this one.
