Mango Lime Mousse
When I was young, I used to make a Mango Lime Whipped dessert every summer. In this recipe, the richness of whipped coconut cream combined with mango puree will have you in heaven! This Mango Mousse Parfait is very easy to make, requires simple and very healthful ingredients, and tastes amazing! It’s the perfect summer treat to make for your family, or to make ahead of time and serve as dessert for a dinner party.
INGREDIENTS
14 oz. coconut cream (refrigerate for 24h)*
3 large ripe mangoes , should yield ~2 cups pureed mango pulp
1 tsp lime juice
2 tbsp sweetener of choice
fresh mint, finely chopped
fresh mangoes, finely diced
*Please note, coconut cream is NOT raw, and Gnosis does not use it in our recipes for this reason. If you would like a raw substitute please let me know!
DIRECTIONS
Coconut Whip Cream
Scoop out the solid coconut cream into the chilled bowl (save liquid for later time). Beat using a stand mixer or a electric hand mixer.
Half way through, add your sweetener of choice and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate.
2. Mango Purée
Peel mangoes and puree the pulp in a blender with the fresh lime juice. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
3. Mango Mousse
In batches, gently and slowly fold the mango puree into the coconut whip cream using a rubber spatula. Be sure not to whisk or mix fast. Refrigerate for 2+ hours.
NOTE: This mango mousse can be enjoyed as-is, with ice cream, or in any other dessert!
4. Build a Parfait (optional)
Fill a ziplock bag with the mango mousse, and cut off one corner of the bag to create a pipping bag (or simply use a standard pipping bag with circular large tip).
In each serving cup, pipe a layer of the mango mousse, followed by a layer of freshly diced mango. Repeat with as many layers as you wish, ending with some diced mango. Top with some finely chopped mint.
Enjoy immediately, or place the prepared mango mousse parfait back in the fridge until ready to serve!
