Creamy mango mousse made with ripe mangoes and whipped coconut cream! It finally feels like Spring and ripe juicy mangoes are here! I love mangoes!! My grandma’s home in India had 2 mango trees and I have pleasant childhood memories of climbing them every summer to grab some fruit. I would always get stuck in the tree and my uncles would have to climb the tree to rescue me. They would tell me not to climb too high but next day I would be up there again needing help to get down 😂! We also had the mango guy who climbed the trees, plucked the raw fruit which then was set to ripen in a dark room with bales of hay. Those mangoes were the best I’ve ever eaten. Anyway, back to my post: my Sunday Supper team is doing a 5 ingredient or less theme and I decided to make my 4 ingredient mango mousse. It’s creamy, easy and my family loves it. I use mango, cream, wholesome sweetener a thickening agent. I wanted to make my mango mousse vegan so I used coconut cream and agar agar. You can use regular cream and gelatin if you wish. it comes out just as well. I prefer the coconut cream version since it gives the mousse a earthy coconut flavor and whips up really well. I usually set the mango mousse in small glass bowls and serve it with some fresh mango on top. This light, creamy mango mousse is one of my favorite desserts. It just screams Spring to me! Check out that golden goodness!!

Love your memories of childhood in India with your grandmother.
As one of my nieces is a complete vegan and my sister is very fond of mango, I thank you very much for your recipe…which is bound to receive rave reviews =)
I love the idea of using coconut cream instead of regular cream! I am sure it tasted even better with mango! Delicious recipe!!
You have so inspired me! I love the combination of mango and coconut!! This is such a wonderful recipe!!
This looks so dreamy and creamy! Love mango!
Oh my goodness you always find dishes that I just have to try. This is my kind of mousse, I am more of a fruit kind of girl then chocolate. I can’t wait to give this a try.
Oh, my, does this look like summer! Sweet, tropical and delicious!!! I’d love a bowl of your mousse after dinner tonight!
I’m imagining how delicious those fresh mangoes must have been. I love mangoes and this mousse sounds heavenly.
I’m keeping this on my list for the next heatwave. Trader Joes has frozen mango so this recipe can be had any time of the year for me, yay!
They look beautiful! Perfect for summer 🙂
Mango mousse sounds so intriguing. I must give it a try soon.
Yes, please!! I love the fresh flavor of mango!!
yummmm!!! coconut + mango = heaven!! love this!
Just the name of this dessert is killer! I see the future, and I will be making this very soon.
Ah, If I could eat (or touch) coconut I’d be in love with this! I adore mango
You can make it with any cream! Even fake dairy whip!
Sue, looks so yumm !!
Coconut + Mango my absolute favorite combo!!Can’t wait to make some!!
Two of my absolute favorite fruity tropical flavors, coconut and mango. This is like summer in a bowl!
Oh Sue this is perfect! This looks so creamy and delicious. I would love a bowl right now!
I’m so excited that this calls for coconut cream! I bought my first can of coconut cream and when I opened it, I wasn’t prepared for the consistency. I have it in my fridge and I need to use it. I’m going to make this mousse!
Coconut and mango sound so good together!
This definitely sounds like a great dish to celebrate the warmer season! I love the color too!
My mom loves mango and I’ll have to make this mousse for her. What a great dessert for spring and summer.
