Mango Mousse

Mango Mousse is sweet, tangy, tropical, light dessert perfect for all occasions.  "Whip" up this creamy, dreamy concoction in no time.  Simple ingredients, not a lot of prep time, keeps well in the fridge and always a hit - you really can't go wrong!


Credit goes to Mama Sampath for creating a deliciously stylish mousse without gelatin or eggs!  Yay Mom!


Ingredients:
1 lb mango nectar - this is sold in the can in the Indian Grocery Store
1 can Fat Free Sweetened Condensed Milk - I like Eagle Brand
8-12 oz. of whipped cream - use Light Cool Whip for a short cut
Sliced fruit to top - use mixed tropical fruit in light syrup (drained) if you are short on time
Toasted, Sliced Almonds to garnish


Directions:
Whip mango nectar and condensed milk until well blended. 
Slowly fold in and incorporate the whipped cream - you want this to be light and fluffy - do not over mix!
Spoon or ladle (depending on the size you choose) into mini cups or bowls.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream and fruits.
Top with almonds just before serving - you don't want them to get soggy!


No one will ever believe it only took you minutes and 5 ingredients.
Makes about 30 mini mousse cups or 15 larger.  Keep a few aside for yourself!




Happy Cooking and Happy Styling!
