Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Puree the 2 large mangoes in a blender until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of puree. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, sprinkle the 1 tbsp gelatin over the 3 tbsp water and let sit for 5 minutes until spongy. Then microwave for 10 seconds until melted.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, whip the 1.5 cups heavy cream and 0.25 cup sugar until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold in the mango puree and melted gelatin until just combined.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the mixture into a 6-inch cake pan or individual glasses. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.

  5. Step 5

    Before serving, shave the 2 oz white chocolate with a vegetable peeler and sprinkle over the top of the mousse cake.
