    How common is it that you come across dessert recipes with less than five ingredients? At Simple Sumptuous Cooking, it is not that uncommon and today's Vegan Mango Mousse is a good example.

    A glass of mango mousse and topped with cubed fresh mangoes

    This mango mousse recipe is vegan-friendly, calorie friendly, and tastes friendly too!

    I did not have to use any gelatin or agar-agar for this recipe and I nearly finished without any added sweetness, but the mangoes turned out to be sourer than I imagined.

    So I had to add a little bit of sweetener (Agave Syrup) to finish it off.

    Close up of mango mousse

    Mango Mousses are typically made with whipped white eggs. Apart from the cruelty it brings, that is a lot of animal-based cholesterol.

    Enough to negate all the workouts you had done in the past couple of days! So, try this vegan version with much less saturated fat from coconut cream than the non-vegan version.

    Preparing it cannot be any easier. Just be sure to refrigerate the coconut milk ahead of time and use just the cream that settles on the top instead of the entire can of coconut milk.

    You will need 2 cans of coconut milk to get 1½ to 2 cups of coconut cream. When you are done, just refrigerate them for a couple of hours or more to get a denser consistency and texture.

    Reasons to make this mousse

    • The Mango Mousse recipe is vegan-friendly, low on calories, and tastes better than the non-vegan version.
    • One of the easiest recipes with excellent results. Even kids find it easy to prepare this delicious mousse.
    • This vegan mousse not only has a perfect texture but its taste and flavor are also amazing.
    • This mango mousse is thick, rich, creamy, dairy-free, sugar-free, and is suitable for vegans.
    • A very easy no-cook vegan mousse recipe using naturally set coconut fat.
    • No need to use gelatin or agar-agar and usually there is no need for added sweetness.  If the mangoes are sour, a little bit of sweetener (Agave Syrup) is required.
    • The most delicious dessert is based on coconut milk and mango pulp.
    • An instant hit at parties.
    • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

    When I made this dessert for my guests, they became huge fans and wouldn't stop complimenting me. Kids especially will fall love in with this vegan mango mousse.

    Sweetened mousse is served as a dessert, or used as an airy cake filling too. I plan on sharing more recipes with this creamy mouse as a cake filling.

    If you can think of more ways to enjoy them, please let me know on my Facebook page.

    I am always looking for more ways to enjoy healthy versions of vegan desserts and to spread the message.

    Ingredients
      

    • 3 ripe mangoes
    • 1 ½ cup coconut cream
    • 3 tablespoon agave syrup - Or 2 tablespoon powdered sugar
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • Peel the mangoes and dice them.
    • Mash the dices to make a smooth puree/pulp.
    • In a big bowl, gently add the coconut cream and whisk the pulp until it is creamy.
    • Add Sugar or Agave syrup.
    • Garnish the Mousse with fresh fruits or dark chocolate shavings.
    • That's it! Refrigerate them for a few hours and serve chilled for a sweet indulgence!

    Notes

    • If the mangoes are sweet, you can skip the sugar! My mangoes were a little sour, so I added agave syrup.
    • Just be sure to refrigerate the coconut milk ahead of time and use just the cream that settles on the top instead of the entire can of coconut milk. You will need 2 cans of coconut milk to get 1½ to 2 cups of coconut cream. When you are done, just refrigerate them for a couple of hours or more to get a denser consistency and texture.

      A bit confused by your comment about egg whites and cholesterol. I don't believe egg whites have cholesterol--that would be the egg yolk. Thanks!

        Hi Mukta. Thank you
        I dont recommend you using coconut milk powder instead of coconut milk or cream. You need a creamy texture to make the mousse.

      Do you mash with a fork and then whip with a whisk or are you using a blender?

        I mashed ripe mangoes then whipped with coconut cream. You can use the blender for whole process. 🙂 Good luck. Thank you!

        Hi, yes like you said you can blend it in vitamin. But please make sure it’s thick enough, otherwise it won’t set in fridge. Thank you:) Good luck!

      If you are vegan for animal cruelty reasons, by all means, this is a great recipe, but please don’t spread false information on nutrition. Egg whites are cholesterol free and contain .01g of fat and no saturated fat. It also provides 7% of daily value of protein at only 17 calories per egg.

      Coconut cream on the other hand is 49 calories per TEASPOON, with 5g of fat, 4.6 is saturated fat, which is 22% of your daily value. While it does provide potassium (1%) it only has .5g of protein. Unless you can’t or don’t eat eggs, this is not a nutritionally wise substitute.3 stars

        Thank you Kris. I am vegan for ethics reason.
        I agree that egg whites are less fat than coconut cream. But I am not only talking about egg whites, non vegan version includes milk fat and milk cream too.

      Dear Uma
      To be on safe side, can we use canned mango puree to make this moose?

        Hi Vicki! Canned purée will be very liquid compare to fresh mango pulp. You have to add more creamy and thick coconut cream and powdered sugar to get mousse consistency. Or else add 2 tbsp almond powder. Please let me know your final outcome. It’s very easy and delicious. Thank you 😊

      Looks really good. I am a big mango fan. I have tried mango coconut ice cream in the past and loved the flavour combination. Lovely share...5 stars
