Ingredients

• 2 whole ripe mangoes
• 1 cup, diced pineapple
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons shredded coconut
• 4 leaves (optional, for garnish) mint leaves

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the mangoes, then blend them with the diced pineapple until smooth to make a tropical fruit puree. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Gently heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave or on the stovetop until it dissolves completely (about 10-15 seconds in the microwave). Allow it to cool slightly but not solidify.

Step 4

Stir the dissolved gelatin, lime juice, and powdered sugar into the tropical fruit puree until well combined.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 6

Fold the tropical fruit mixture gently into the whipped cream using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 7

Divide the mousse mixture into 4 serving glasses or dessert bowls and smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set and firm.

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle the top of each mousse with shredded coconut and garnish with a mint leaf if desired.
