here is a quick and easy mango mousse that you can whip up if you want that special dessert or if you have unexpected guests coming for dinner.
this mousse recipe is eggless and a vegetarian one. i have not used any gelatine or even agar agar for setting the mousse.
the mango mousse is light, creamy and heavenly with the gorgeous aroma and color of the mangoes.
this is an adult mousse…. meaning i have added wine to the mousse. you can add any of your favorite liqueur to the mousse.
if making for kids than skip the wine. just make the mousse with the rest of the ingredients. also the mango mousse can be topped with your favorite dry fruits or some chocolate also. i topped the mousse with some blueberry preserve. i have used amul low fat cream for this dessert and it works very well when you make desserts like mousse or for cream icings on cake.
a gorgeous and beautiful dessert of mango mousse for the summers….
mango mousse recipe details are below:
- 2 medium size mangoes, chopped
- ½ cup thick cream
- 2 tbsp wine or any liqueur of your choice (optional)
- 1 tbsp honey or 1 tbsp sugar – ad more or less for your preferred sweetness
- chopped dry fruits for garnishing or any fruit preserve or chocolates
- in a blender, add the mangoes, wine and honey.
- blend till smooth.
- now add the cream and blend till smooth.
- serve mango mousse in glasses and chill the mousse in the refrigerator for some 20-30 minutes or more.
- garnish the mousse with chocolate shavings or chopped dry fruits or any fruit preserve.
- serve.

Hi dassana
))))
The mousse looks yummy I m on a eggless soufflé making spree will surely try this one .
Just one question is the cream used is amul fresh cream available in local grocery stores???and also do I need to whip it and how ??? Sorry for so many queries
Dimple
yes its the amul cream available in grocery stores. amul cream does not whip well as the fat content is low. even if you blend the cream in a mixer/blender or hand a blender than that works too. we don’t want soft peaks in the cream in this recipe. just a thorough whipping.
I am totally in love with this mousse its so good to just look got to have it .I must go to shop and get some mangoes off to chopping.Lovely recipe dassana.
i have a tin of mango puree is this ok to use?? also on a trip to maderia i bought passion fruit liquor so was thinking of adding this too!!
hi tracey, you can use mango puree and also add the passion fruit liquor.
thankyou..lastly im confused as to what cream to use? thickened cream?? is it clotted cream or do i whip some cream???? thanks!
hi tracey, you can add thickened cream or whip up some cream too.
hi Dassana,
really quick and easy recipe, made it yesterday and my hubby really love it . thank you
thats nice to know uma…..
Sorry if I am asking you the same Q, would the mousse set firm and thick without agar agar or gelatin? Just curious… I have plenty of whipping cream in the fridge and mangoes too, had this Q on mind before I could go ahead making it.
it is alright shri. the mousse is not very firm and well set the way gelatin or agar agar added mousses are. but the cream gives it a good body and firmness. you can see from the pics, the mousse is not flowing. it is set but not so set or thick that if you turn the glass it will not fall
but they are an excellent way to combine the goodness of mangoes with cream and a really good dessert. go ahead and make this delicious mango mousse
sweetness can be adjusted as per your preference.
Hi Ma’m…….. its really amazing n easy as well recipe ….thanks a lot…. but i need 1 more suggestion that instead of wine what else i can add…… i can’t use lemon juice as my mom has some problem… so plz guide … thanks again…
you can skip the wine altogether mehak. no need to add the lemon juice too. just make the mousse with mango puree, cream, honey or sugar. it will still taste delicious.
for additional flavors besides the mango flavor, you can add some vanilla extract, about 1/2 tsp for this recipe. for a more indianised taste, you can add some cardamom powder and saffron, about 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder and a 4-5 strands of saffron.
thanks a lot for your nice suggestion…
welcome mehak
Gorgeous color looks yummy
can you pass me some
you have to come here to have the mousse
I cannot wait to make this recipe! Mango mousse sounds like heaven! Especially since it does not have any eggs or gelatine!
this looks like a must try! how long it takes to set in the freezer. Is there any other substitute for honey!!!
30 minutes in the fridge is fine. it is not supposed to be kept in the freezer compartment. you can easily add sugar instead of honey.
hey… i like the thick texture and the lovely color here… i like the addition of liquer… nevr made anything ever before using liquer… must try this one…i simply love the gorgeous pics and the way u hve captured the wonderful mango color…superb post! happy cooking
thanks beena
liquer does wonders to the mousse. i have added white sparkling wine and it was awesome with the combo of mango, cream & honey. you should try this recipe.
hi Dassana i made this yummy mousse today and believe me it was not allowed to go in the fridge..as soon as i made it vanished away..i had to add more honey in it as mine was not as sweet as i wanted it to be..
the sweetness of the mousse depends on the sweetness of mangoes. the honey can easily be adjusted. you should have allowed to set it for some time to get a firm texture. but mangoes and cream is such an irresistible combination that no wonder you were not able to refrigerate the mousse
Hi dassana,
Nice Mousse. Instead of heavy cream and honey, can i make it with milk only. My son doesn’t like both. Hope to hear from you soon.
Regards
Shikha
hi shikha, you can add milk, but the texture would be a little flowing and fluid and not firm. it will be somewhat like a thick aamras. add sugar or jaggery if you are not adding honey. also i am assuming that since you are making this for your son you are not going to add any liquer. in this case you can just add 1 tsp of lemon juice to the mousse.
Hi this recipe looks yummy!!! I have a question…when you say thick cream is that heavy whipping cream? Or is it something else? Sorry but I’m not sure what you mean and I really want to make this for my family we all love mangoes!!!! Thank you so much and hope to hear from you soon!
Johana
thanks johana. by thick cream i mean heavy cream. in india we call it thick cream. i used cream which has 24% fat content. you can use a heavy cream which has more than 24% fat content also.
Nice adult mousse
And no gelatine or agar. Looks great. I am amazed at the posts here. Didn’t I come by this morning and find a new post… and now one again!
