Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup (8 ounces) chopped mango (fresh or frozen and defrosted is fine)
1 TB fresh orange juice
1 TB lime juice
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup heavy cream (very cold)

Steps:

In a high speed blender, combine the mango with the orange juice, lime juice and condensed milk. Puree until very smooth, about 1 minute.
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, beat the cream with an electric mixer on high until soft peaks form.
Pour one quarter of the mango puree mixture into the beaten cream, and using a spatula, fold the mango into the cream very gently. You don't want to deflate the cream, so take your time and scrape around the bowl and down the middle to fold the mixture together.
Repeat with the remaining mango puree, one quarter of it at a time, until everything is incorporated.
Divide the mixture between 4 small glasses, and refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving. To garnish: extra dollop of whipped cream and a few diced mango pieces and a mint leaf.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 large mangos, stones and skins removed, flesh chopped (about 1 pound mango flesh)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
3 1/2 ounces sugar
4 tablespoons water
1 free-range egg white, whisked until stiff peaks form
2 gelatine leaves (optional)
6 1/2 ounces heavy cream, whipped until soft peaks form
Handful chopped pistachios, for garnish

Steps:

Blend the mango flesh to a puree in a food processor. Stir in the lime juice.
Heat the sugar and water in a saucepan over a medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture resembles syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil, and continue to boil for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the mixture has reached the soft ball stage. The mixture has reached the soft ball stage when a sugar thermometer reads 235 to 240 degrees F when inserted into the mixture.
Gradually add the hot sugar to the whisked egg whites in a thin stream, whisking continuously, until all the sugar has been incorporated and the mixture is thick and glossy. You may choose to use gelatine for a firm set. If you are using it, place the gelatine leaves into a small pan and cover with cold water. Set aside for 4 to 5 minutes to soften, then drain well, squeezing any excess water out of the leaves, and return to the pan.
Add 2 tablespoons of water to the gelatine leaves and heat over a medium heat, until the leaves have dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly, then add the mango puree, and stir until well combined.
Fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the mango mixture, or until well combined. Add the remaining whipped cream and the egg white mixture, and gently fold the into the mango mixture until well combined.
Spoon the mango mousse into a large serving dish or into individual serving glasses, and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
To serve, sprinkle over the chopped pistachios.
