Mango Mousse
 

I picked up this idea on our India trip.
I've tried this "lightened" version and it was pretty good also.

Hi Pete

Just a side-note to your recipe. I buy fresh mangoes in
season here, when they are cheap and superb in flavour.
Those I can't eat I peel, seed and slice roughly into rough
1cm cubes. Then I freeze them packed into ice-cube trays and
decant them into storage containers in the freezer.

When thawed they have lost their firmness - but the
consistency is perfect for adding to a yoghurt or a sorbet
or a mousse. It will dissolve into the other medium but
small delicious chunks will still be randomly scattered
through the mix. For example, I add four mango ice-cubes to
a small cup of plain greek yoghurt, a little Splenda to
taste - and I have very tasty ice-cold fruit yoghurt dessert
after they thaw.

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

That's a great idea. During the season fresh mangos drop to four per $1
(US).
We've been putting the excess in the dehydrator as mango chips but freezing
as chunks would work well.
We also get large cans of mango pulp at the Indian market which we freeze in
ice cube trays similar to your method.
The frozen mango cubes make delicious mango lassi or margaritas among other
treats.
