Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream (35% fat or higher)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups (about 300 g) fresh ripe mango, peeled and cubed
  • 1 envelope powdered gelatin (¼ oz / about 2½ tsp)
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) mango juice or water

Instructions

  1. Chill a mixing bowl and whisk in the refrigerator to help the cream whip better.
  2. In the chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined and smooth.
  4. In a small microwave-safe bowl, pour mango juice or water. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly on top and let it bloom for 3–5 minutes.
  5. Microwave the gelatin mixture in 10-second intervals until it fully dissolves. Do not boil.
  6. Blend the mango cubes in a blender until completely smooth (about 1 minute). Add the dissolved gelatin to the mango puree and blend again until well combined.
  7. Pour the mango-gelatin mixture into the whipped cream mixture. Gently fold together until fully incorporated and uniform in color.
  8. Spoon or pour the mousse into individual serving glasses. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  9. Optionally, garnish with fresh mango cubes, whipped cream, or mint before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet mangoes like Ataulfo or Alphonso for the best flavor and texture.
  • Frozen mango can be used; thaw and drain before blending.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute whipped coconut cream for heavy cream.
  • Add a pinch of cardamom or vanilla for a subtle spice note.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Do not freeze.
