Description
A refreshing no-bake dessert featuring layers of silky mango purée and creamy white chocolate mousse, elegantly served in individual cups. Perfect for summer gatherings, Ramadan, or Eid celebrations.
Ingredients
- 2 cups mango purée (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 150 g white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 g cream cheese, softened
- Fresh mango cubes (optional garnish)
- White chocolate shavings (optional garnish)
- Mint leaves (optional garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth.
- Place mango purée, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Once warm, stir in the cornstarch mixture.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
- Melt the white chocolate gently over a double boiler or in the microwave using short intervals. Let it cool to room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the melted white chocolate and vanilla; mix until creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream gently into the white chocolate mixture until smooth and airy.
- Assemble the cups by adding a layer of mango mixture, followed by a layer of white chocolate velvet cream. Repeat if desired.
- Chill the cups for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish with mango cubes, white chocolate shavings, or mint leaves before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for best flavor, or high-quality frozen mango if out of season.
- Adjust sugar based on mango sweetness.
- Ensure white chocolate is cooled before mixing to prevent curdling.
- Use a piping bag for cleaner layering.
- Do not freeze, as the mousse may separate.
