Scale
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups mango purée (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled (or whipping cream)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and fully combined.
- Stir in the mango purée and mix until silky and well incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango and cream cheese mixture using a spatula to maintain the light and airy texture.
- Spoon the mango mousse into individual serving bowls or glasses.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 6–8 hours, or overnight for best texture and flavor.
- Just before serving, top with fresh mango chunks and serve cold.
Notes
- Use ripe Ataulfo or Alphonso mangoes for the best flavor if using fresh fruit.
- Canned mango purée is a convenient and consistent alternative.
- Can be made a day ahead and kept chilled until serving.
- Top with mint leaves or coconut flakes for extra flair.
