Creamy Mango Mousse (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Mousse Base

01 - 1 ½ cups cold heavy cream
02 - 1 ½ cups mango, pureed
03 - ⅓ cup powdered sugar
04 - 3 tablespoons vanilla instant pudding mix

# Instructions:

01 - Blend the mangos in a food processor or mixer until creamy and smooth. Reserve ½ cup of the puree for topping and set aside.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, vanilla instant pudding, and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
03 - Add the mango puree (except reserved portion) to the whipped cream mixture and gently fold with a spatula until well combined.
04 - Transfer the mousse to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe evenly into 5 glass cups. Cover each cup with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours to set properly.
05 - Before serving, top each mousse with the reserved mango puree, freshly whipped cream, and fresh fruit if desired.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, ensure heavy cream is very cold before whipping to achieve maximum volume.
02 - Ripe, sweet mangos produce the best flavor for this dessert.
