Summer Dessert: Mango and Passion Fruit Mousse

When it’s summer, it’s important to keep the desserts light and refreshing and this mousse fits the bill perfectly.

It’s great to serve at parties as well as whip up for yourself at home! Here’s everything you’ll need to make them.

Mango and Passion Fruit Mousse

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 1 hour and overnight to set

Ingredients:

3 sheets gelatine

4 tbsp boiling water

450g Rachel’s low fat mango yogurt

Juice of 1 lemon

200g whipping cream

2 ripe mangos, skinned and diced or 400g tin of mango cheeks in juice

Serving Suggestion: 1 fresh passion fruit, de-seeded

Method:

1. Begin by breaking the gelatine into a bowl, add the boiling water and mix. Leave to completely dissolve.

2. Add the yogurt and lemon juice to the warm gelatine and mix thoroughly. Pour into a container or cover and leave to set in the refrigerator overnight.

3. To make the mousse, whip the set yogurt with the cream using an electric whisk. Whip until soft peaks are formed and the mixture is glossy without lumps.

4. Layer the mousse into serving glasses alternating with the mango puree.

5. Return the layered mousse to the fridge to chill for approximately 40 minutes. This will allow the mousse to set and the bubbles to form.

6. Top with fresh passion fruit seeds to serve.

Tip: Always add cold liquids to warm gelatine to ensure good setting properties.
