What is Mousse? 

Mousse is a light French dessert which means foam and is generally made by folding whipped cream or whipped eggs with a sugar base. 

What are the ingredients for Mango Mousse? 

This extra creamy and luscious mango mousse is made with 6 simple handful ingredients that are easily available at any grocery store. These ingredients are:  

1. Mangoes - The key ingredient of this mousse is Mango, and the freshest tastes best. You can choose any of your preferred mango for this mousse recipe. Or if you cannot find fresh mangoes then you can surely use mango puree. 

2. Heavy whipping cream - chilled whipping cream is the best. You can use coconut or cashew cream to make a vegan version of this mousse. 

3. Powdered sugar - a must ingredient in a dessert. You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste preference. 

4. Vanilla or mango extract - Some type of additive elevates the taste of the mousse. Feel free to choose any other flavorings or you may completely omit the flavoring part. 

5. Agar agar powder - This is a setting agent that binds and helps in attaining the airy and light mousse texture in the absence of eggs or gelatin. This is entirely vegan/vegetarian friendly.  

6. Warm milk - it is used for dissolving agar agar powder. 

Can I make Mango Mousse without agar agar? 

Technically you can. But I would highly recommend using Agar agar in this recipe. Agar agar is a setting agent that gives a light and airy mousse-like texture to an eggless mousse. But if you are not comfortable using agar agar or cannot find it, then you can surely skip this.   

Can I make Mango Mousse in advance? 

Yes, you certainly can. In fact, the mousse tastes best the next day. So, if I am making it for a get-together or a dinner party then I usually prepare it a day before.  

How to make Vegan Mango Mousse? 

This recipe uses dairy whipping cream. To make it vegan, you can use homemade aquafaba or any non-dairy whipping cream such as coconut or cashew creams. You can also use vegan cream cheese. 

How long does this Mango Mousse keep? 

Mango mousse stays fresh for up to 2-3 days when kept covered in a refrigerator.

Important tips and variations to make the best mango mousse at home: 

1. I used agar agar powder in this recipe, but you can also use flakes. If using flakes, then dissolve agar agar in about 1/4 cup milk and microwave for 3 minutes. You can also simmer for 10-15 minutes in a pan. 

2. You can skip agar agar powder if you do not fuss about the super airy and light texture of your mousse. 

3. For decoration, reserve some of the whipped cream and mango puree in separate bowls.  

4. If you do not have mangoes, then you can also use store-bought mango puree. For this recipe, you will need 1+(¾) cups of mango puree. 

5. Always use warm liquid to dissolve agar agar powder. Do not use super-hot liquid, or else it will cluster. 

6. I added a few drops of vanilla extract to this recipe. But it is entirely optional. You can skip flavoring or choose any other flavorings such as mango, saffron, or cardamom. 

7. Whipping cream doubles after whipping. So always use a large mixing bowl when whipping the cream.   

8. You can easily adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste and natural sweetness of mangoes. 

9. Always use well-ripened sweet mangoes to get the best result. 

10. You can also replace sugar with the same amount of sweetened condensed milk. 

11. You can store mango mousse in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap for up to 2-3 days. 

12. You can also use any of your preferred dry fruits for topping. 

13. Make sure to serve it chilled because you get intensified mango flavors in the chilled mango mousse. 

14. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
