Mango Mousse

I love Mangoes and every summer we consume mangoes so much yet are not tired of eating them:) I have already shared various mango recipe in my blog like Mango Milkshake, Mango Kulfi, Khatta Aam Panna among many others..


In today's  post, I will be sharing a recipe of Mango mousse, a delicious dessert . Being a vegetarian, I do not use gelatin in my cooking. Hence I have prepared this sweet dish with agar agar .Its easy to prepare and can be prepared well in advance . Hence it is perfect while entertaining guests and is great dessert in parties.

INGREDIENTS:
Note: All measurements are based on the US measuring cup and spoon sizes where 1 cup = 235 ml

• Sweetened Mango pulp : 1 can (I used Kesar mango sweetened pulp can)
• Agar agar : 8 grams 
• Sour cream : 2 cups
• Cream cheese (at room temperature) : 8 ounce
• Sugar : 3/4 cup
• Water : 1 cup

PROCEDURE:

• Soak agar agar in 1 cup of water for 15 minutes. Then, boil this water. Stir regularly until the agar agar dissolves completely.
• Now blend sour cream, cream cheese, sugar and the hot agar agar -water solution in the mixer for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
• Lastly added the sweetened mango pulp. Mix gently until completely well blended.
• Pour the mixture into individual serving bowls or dessert cups. Cover each dessert cup with a plastic wrap and chill them overnight (at least  8-10 hours).
• Serve chilled just as is or topped with fresh mango pieces.

NOTES:

Mango mousse can be prepared using gelatin too. If using gelatin, the recipe needs to be modified a little.

Unflavored Gelatin : 3 envelopes (0.75 oz in total or 0.25 oz in each envelope)
Sour cream : 2 cups

Dissolve the gelatin in boiling water. Now blend sour cream, cream cheese, sugar and hot gelatin-water solution in a mixer until smooth. Lastly add the mango pulp and mix gently until well incorporated. Pour the mixture into individual serving bowls or dessert cups. Cover each dessert cup with a plastic wrap and chill them overnight.Serve chilled just as is or topped with fresh mango pieces.
