- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 2 tablespoons water

Peel and dice the ripe mangoes. Blend the mango pieces in a blender until smooth to create a mango puree.
Step 2
Add the ginger paste to the mango puree and mix well. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine unflavored gelatin and water. Allow it to bloom for 5 minutes, then gently heat it in the microwave or on the stove until fully dissolved. Let it cool slightly.

Fold the dissolved gelatin into the mango-ginger puree, ensuring it is evenly incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold the mango-ginger puree into the whipped cream, making sure not to deflate the mixture.

Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
Step 9
Before serving, garnish each mousse with a slice of fresh mango and a mint leaf for a pop of color and freshness.
