Important tips and variations to make the best mango mousse at home:
-
I used agar agar powder in this recipe, but you can also use flakes. If using flakes, then dissolve agar agar in about 1/4 cup milk and microwave for 3 minutes. You can also simmer for 10-15 minutes in a pan.
-
You can skip agar agar powder if you do not fuss about the super airy and light texture of your mousse.
-
For decoration, reserve some of the whipped cream and mango puree in separate bowls.
-
If you do not have mangoes, then you can also use store-bought mango puree. For this recipe, you will need 1+(¾) cups of mango puree.
-
Always use warm liquid to dissolve agar agar powder. Do not use super-hot liquid, or else it will cluster.
-
I added a few drops of vanilla extract to this recipe. But it is entirely optional. You can skip flavoring or choose any other flavorings such as mango, saffron, or cardamom.
-
Whipping cream doubles after whipping. So always use a large mixing bowl when whipping the cream.
-
You can easily adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste and natural sweetness of mangoes.
-
Always use well-ripened sweet mangoes to get the best result.
-
You can also replace sugar with the same amount of sweetened condensed milk.
-
You can store mango mousse in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap for up to 2-3 days.
-
You can also use any of your preferred dry fruits for topping.
-
Make sure to serve it chilled because you get intensified mango flavors in the chilled mango mousse.
-
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
