What is Mousse
Mousse is a soft prepared food that incorporates air bubbles to give it a light and airy texture. It can range from light and fluffy to creamy and thick, depending on preparation techniques. A mousse may be sweet or savory. The dish is actually originated in France.
A dessert mousse can be made from pureed fruit or flavored custard mixed with gelatin, whipped cream or beaten egg whites. The dessert is chilled or frozen and generally molded.
About my recipe
As this is the session of the king of fruit Mango, I decided to make a mousse with mango. This is a perfect light desert for summer and it’s incredibly easy to make. I didn’t use gelatin or agar agar to set the mousse. Just used stiffed whipped cream to set my mousse. To make the mousse more interesting,I used coconut powder to this mousse, which gives extra flavour to the mousse . I think the combination of mango and coconut is heavenly. And yes, this Mango mousse is eggless.
