Magic Mango Mousse

This mango mousse is quick, easy, plant-based and sweet as honey, but the honey stays with the bees, and the bees and other pollinators give us mangoes instead. Fair trade.
Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup aquafaba
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed coconut milk
  • 2 cups mango about 2 fresh mangoes, or use frozen
  • 1 teaspoon rum or vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • a little extra diced mango for garnish if desired

Instructions
 

  • Whip aquafaba and cream of tartar in a standing mixer or Vitamix.  I mean whip the dickens out of it, until the aquafaba stands in stiff peaks like meringue.  This may take up to 10 minutes.
  • Spoon the whipped aquafaba into a separate bowl and pop in the fridge to keep it cool and light.
  • Now whip together the mango, sweetened condensed coconut milk, rum and lime juice for a minute or two, just until smooth.
  • Gently fold the aquafaba into the mango mixture and voila, you have magic mango mousse.  Spoon into dessert cups and let chill for at least an hour.
  • Best enjoyed within 3 days.
