Mango Mousse

Mango, the king of all fruits is an ancient fruit with verstaile uses.

Little has been known about its health aspects. Its anti-cancerous properties has made it a wonder food. Mangoes also contain enzymes which aid in digestion and help in relieving the clogged pores of the skin. Since they are the bountiful fruit of summer, they also serve as an excellent remedy against heat strokes.

We managed to buy some great mangoes this year which turned out to be very sweet. I whipped up rich smoothies during the summer days and was toying with an idea to try out the mango cheese cake. But somehow plans did not go my way and I finally attempted the Mango Mousse which tasted great and it had a deliciously creamy texture which makes you crave for more.

 I somehow missed to share this delicious dessert recipe with you all during the mango season. As its said that "Better late than Never", so I am here with the recipe for a lovely Mango Mousse.

INGREDIENTS:

2 mangoes ( I used ripened alphanso mangoes)
1 sachet unflavored powdered gelatin
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup  sugar
1/4 tsp of vanilla essence
Diced mango, for garnish

HOW TO MAKE:

1) In a small bowl dissolve the gelatin in 1/2 cup of hot water. Stir thoroughly and let it sit for 5 minutes. The gelatin will bloom well. Add some cold water to this and alow it to sit for 5  more minutes.

2) Meanwhile, in a blender cut in the mango pieces,sugar, vanilla essence and the whipping cream. Beat it on high speead for 1-2 minutes. Keep aside.

3) After the gelatin has bloomed for 5 minutes, gently fold in the the mango cream mixture. Make syre that you do not lose the volume from the cream.Stir thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

4) Top with diced mango and enjoy!
