Ingredients Overview (And Why Each One Matters)

Mango Mousse

Ripe Mango Purée
The heart of the dessert. Fresh mango provides natural sweetness, vibrant color, and a smooth tropical flavor that pairs beautifully with chocolate.

Heavy Whipping Cream
Whipped cream gives the mousse its airy, luxurious texture. Full-fat cream ensures stability and richness.

Granulated Sugar
Enhances mango flavor and balances acidity. This is a full-calorie dessert — no shortcuts here.

Unflavored Gelatin
Provides structure so the mousse holds its shape inside the chocolate cup without collapsing.

Fresh Lemon Juice
Brightens the mango and prevents the mousse from tasting flat or overly sweet.

Pure Vanilla Extract
Rounds out the fruit flavor and adds depth.

Mango Chutney Garnish

Fresh Diced Mango
Adds texture and visual appeal on top of the mousse.

Brown Sugar
Creates a caramelized depth and glossy finish.

Fresh Lime Juice
Balances sweetness with acidity.

Fresh Ginger (optional but recommended)
Adds a subtle warmth that enhances mango without overpowering it.

Pinch of Salt
Essential for flavor balance — even in desserts.
