Instructions

  1. Soften the gelatine leaves for 10 minutes in a bowl of cold water.
  2. Peel the mangoes, cut the flesh and blend it finely with the lime juice and zest and half the icing sugar.
  3. Heat 3 tablespoons of the purée in a small saucepan, dissolve the squeezed gelatine in it, then mix everything into the remaining purée.
  4. Whip the very cold cream with the rest of the icing sugar until it forms a soft chantilly.
  5. Gently fold a third of the chantilly into the mango purée to lighten it, then add the rest by lifting the mixture with a spatula.
  6. Divide the mousse among 4 glasses and let it set in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
  7. Decorate with toasted grated coconut just before serving.

Variations and tips

Papaya mousse. Replace the mango with very ripe papaya, using the same amount of lime.
