A sugar-free mango mousse can still be dreamy, creamy, and packed with fresh mango flavor! Here’s a simple recipe that keeps it light and airy, perfect for a refreshing, guilt-free treat.
Heavenly Sugar-Free Mango Mousse
Ingredients:
- 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (reserve a few slices for garnish if desired)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat for extra creaminess, or low-fat if preferred)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)
- 1-2 tbsp honey or a sugar-free sweetener, such as erythritol or monk fruit (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (for a hint of brightness)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Mango Puree:
- In a blender, combine the diced mango, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness by adding a little honey or sweetener, if needed. Set aside.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This step adds an airy texture to the mousse. (If using coconut cream, make sure it’s well-chilled before whipping.)
- Combine the Yogurt and Mango Puree:
- In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and mango puree until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix, as this will keep the mousse light.
- Chill and Serve:
- Spoon the mango mousse into serving cups or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until well-chilled and set.
- Garnish and Enjoy:
- Just before serving, top with reserved mango slices, a sprinkle of crushed nuts (like pistachios or almonds), or a sprig of mint for a touch of color.
