Mango Mousse

Source of Recipe


From "Simply Perfect Desserts" (Better Homes & Gardens)



List of Ingredients



• 3 ripe mangoes, seeded, peeled, and cut up (3 cups)
  
• 1/3 cup sugar
  
• 1 tsp unflavored gelatin
  
• ¼ cup cold water
  
• 1 cup whipping cream
  
• ¼ tsp coconut extract
  
• 2 kiwifruits, peeled and sliced
  
• ¼ cup toasted coconut
  
• Large coconut flakes, toasted
  






Instructions



1. Chill a medium mixing bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer.
   Place two of the cut-up mangoes in a food processor bowl or blender container. Cover and process or blend until smooth. Measure 1 cup of the purée; set aside.
   
   
2. Combine the sugar and gelatin in a medium saucepan. Stir in the water. Cook and stir over low heat just until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat. Stir in the 1 cup mango purée; cool a few minutes to room temperature.
   Beat whipping cream and coconut extract in the chilled bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). By hand, fold mango mixture into whipped cream. Chill until mixture mounds when spooned.
   
   
3. Divide half of the mango mixture among six individual dessert dishes. Divide kiwi slices and remaining cut-up mango among the dishes. Top with remaining mango mixture and the toasted coconut. Cover and chill for 4 hours, or until set.
   Sprinkle with additional large flakes of toasted coconut.
