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)
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
mango: You need half a pound (8 ounces) of frozen mango. This can be fresh or frozen mango; if it’s frozen, defrost it at room temperature for about 30 minutes before you use it.
orange juice: Freshly squeezed or regular orange juice that you drink for breakfast is fine here.
sweetened condensed milk: Since we’re not using the entire can of sweetened condensed milk (not the same as evaporated milk, by the way), try to find the squeeze bottles of condensed milk. Any leftover condensed milk is great in coffee or tea.
heavy cream: Full-fat heavy cream (or double cream) is best for making this mango mousse.
