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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
