Mangoes are the #1 fruit for Australia’s summer weather. This super easy three-ingredient Mango Cheesecake Mousse is the perfect way to use them.
Mangoes not only taste incredible (well I think so), they have many health benefits that help our bodies to thrive.
This is a rich dessert so you only need a small amount. For the photo, I have used little 100 ml glasses from IKEA. Sadly, they are no longer sold, however, IKEA does have cute little “snaps” glasses for only 50c each. I use these all the time for my Chocolate Mousse.
Be inventive with what you already have around the house. This is the collection of possibilities that I found in my cupboards. Though, I must admit that I have more than the usual because of the food photography I do for the site.
Preparation tips
You can use rapadura or coconut sugar instead of the honey or maple. It will be thicker so you may have to scrape down the sides of your processor bowl more as it mixes. Perhaps a stand mixer or handheld mixer would work better.
I am starting to test dehydrated monk fruit as a sugar alternative. It is 100% monk fruit which is about 8 times sweeter than sugar. I have successfully used 1 to 2 teaspoons in this recipe instead of the sugar or honey.
The thickness of the finished mousse does depend a lot on the firmness of your mango. If I use the firm but ripe mangoes from our tree and the rapadura sugar or dehydrated monk fruit, then I can double the amount of mango which makes the flavour even more delicious.
