Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups diced ripe mangoes
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
- 1/4 cup mango juice or puree
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Garnish:
- Fresh mango slices
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with sugar and melted butter to create a compact base layer.
- Press the cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring an even, smooth surface.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until silky and free of lumps.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the cream cheese, mixing until thoroughly blended.
- Transform fresh mangoes into a velvety puree using a blender, processing until completely smooth.
- Gently fold the mango puree into the cream cheese mixture, creating a vibrant, golden-hued blend.
- Whip cream until it forms soft, billowy peaks, then delicately fold into the mango-cream cheese mixture.
- Transfer the mousse to the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an elegant finish.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours, allowing the mousse to set and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, adorn with fresh mango slices and delicate mint leaves for a stunning presentation.
Notes
- Ensure graham cracker crust is tightly packed to create a sturdy base that won’t crumble when serving.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to achieve a smoother, lump-free mixture without overmixing.
- Choose ripe, sweet mangoes for the most intense and natural flavor in the mousse.
- Chill the springform pan before pressing the crust to help it set quickly and maintain its shape.
