1. Hi , Dassana
   Me & my family love ur recipes….they come out awesome….
   Want to know for mango mousse…
   Does sugar need for this recipe?
   How much sugar?
   At which step?

   • thanks niyati. i have not added sugar in the mango mousse as the mangoes were very sweet. you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar. i will update in the recipe card too. add sugar or honey when blending or pureeing the mangoes.

2. Can I keep this desert in the fridge for a few hours to be used later

   • you can. it stays good for a couple of a days.

3. Hi Dassana,
   Thank you so much for the recipe. This is the first time I am trying mango mousse…kids really liked it.

   • Welcome Mehra. Glad to know this.

4. HI Dassana, we don’t have mango season here in Australia now but I do wish to try your mango mousse recipe. Can I use tinned mango pulp instead of fresh purée n if I can would the amount of pulp required be still the same or do I have to adjust it. Will all other measurements be the same – cream n sugar. We get some Indian brands mango pulp in Asian groceries, which one do you suggest I use and what variety of pulp should that be as in Alphonso or any other type of mango?

   • Salwa, yes you can use readymade mango pulp. i don’t know the brand. alphonoso mango pulp will be the best. you can use approx 1.5 to 2 cups of mango pulp.

5. Hi!

   Love your website. A beginner cook here, some questions I have-
   1. Can I add vodka 2 tablespoons to this mango mousse?
   2. In one of the comments you have answered you can use lemon juice instead of alcohol, why is this so?
   3. 2 medium size mangoes- means how many cups mangoes chopped?
   4. Also in your other chocolate banana mouse recipe, which brand of chocolate are you using?

   • Thanks Prats. Yes you can add Vodka. Lemon juice for giving slight tang to the mousse. because some people like it that way. I use couverture chocolate and the brand is callebaut. it comes around approx 1 cup.

6. Awesome recipe. I had to make d dessert in ten minutes and I am so glad I found this recipe!! Thank you Dassana 🙂

   • thanks deepa.

7. thanks for this recipe..its always a hit at parties.
   Only issue I have is that I use pulp tin and I cannot make more than 4-5 cups with one one tin

   • then you will have to include more tins or cans to increase the proportions. also the proportion of cream and sugar will increase.

8. Hey ur recipes are too good. They turn out awesome every time. Loved the eggless chocolate mousse. For mango mousse can i substitute cream with gelatin for setting? I mean do i need to add cream if i am adding unflavored gelatin. What would be the quantity of gelatin?

   • thanks. for mango mousse cream is one of the essential ingredients. gelatin is not required. you can add a bit of gelatin if you want. i think 1/2 teaspoon gelatin should be fine. you can use both cream and gelatin. in most commercially made mousses, along with cream, gelatin is also added.

     • Thank you!!

     • welcome rajesh 🙂

9. Can i use pineapple instead of mangoes?

   • ruchi, i won’t suggest. as pineapple might react with milk. you can use bananas, strawberries.

10. recipes are amazing. sply the picture presentation.

    • pleased to know this priyadarshi thankyou for your kind words 🙂

11. I always want u to send me sum of your recipe so that I can learn more frm u guys.because I love to cook

    • thanks mary.

12. Hi Dasaana,
    I wanted to know how much should I whip the cream in the blender. I am going to try this with mango purée just the way you mentioned your strawberry mousse. I just want to understand how much should I whip that cream.

    Thanks

    • just blending on medium speed for 1/2 a minute. stop, check and continue if you do not get soft peaks. the time will depend on the fat content of the cream. the more fat content, the faster the cream will whip.

      • Thanks for the reply

      • welcome roma.

13. hi dassana-
    can i use coconut cream (plus follow the same steps) to make it vegan?
    thanks

    • yes pia, you can use coconut cream easily.

14. Ur blog is amazing.. thanx 4 sharing wonderful recipes 🙂

    • welcome sabina

15. Hi Dassana love your blog especially the step by step pictorial instructions of the recipes. ..its a great help while making the recipes. Mango mousse looks delicious. Wanted to ask whether this mousse can be used to make a mango mousse cake or should i add agar agar? If yes then how much…and will amul cream do the job…it just doesn’t whip up especially in this hot North Indian summer…

    • thanks himani. agar agar will surely help to set the mousse. i would suggest using agar agar. if you are making individual cup cakes than you can skip agar agar. amul cream works. i use amul cream for the icings i make. use a good blender or stand mixer to whip the cream. you have to adding icing sugar while whipping the cream. only add icing sugar. don’t add any other sugar, even powdered sugar does not work. when adding any other sugar amul cream does not blend till stiff peaks. remember to use chilled cream.
