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.
- 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
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.
