About the Recipe

When it's summer, we all love to gorge on mangoes!! We eat them fresh or we use them in various dishes. Desserts, Shakes, curries, salads, it is such a versatile fruit.

Mousse is a foamy dessert made with whipped egg whites(raw), gelatine and other ingredients such chocolate, fruit purees etc. Many people avoid eggs in their diet due to various reasons(dietary or religious). And gelatine is not a vegetarian/vegan product. Now a days we can also make Eggless and Gelatine-free mousse using various ingredients like whipped cream and agar agar(vegetarian/plant product).

I also make eggless mousse with whipped cream with fruit puree or chocolate and avoid adding gelatin as I don't like it's after-flavor and moreover it is an animal by-product. Also, I avoid adding raw eggs to any of the food preparations.

I had a pack of Jello Instant Pudding(French Vanilla flavour) in my pantry and thought of using it to make this silky Gelatine Free Mango Mousse.

Mango Mousse with Jello Instant Pudding Mix(Gelatin-free)

Jell-O Instant pudding is a ready to eat pudding and is available in US stores. The Jell-O which is used to make jelly has gelatin in it. But, but there are certain flavors of Jell-O pudding like Vanilla that are gelatin free. I wanted to try something with the pudding, which is more than just pudding with fruits or nuts. I had a potluck dinner coming up and I decided to make Mango Mousse for it. I had a pack of Vanilla flavor of Jell-O, which is gelatin free so, I decided to use it for making mousse.

The mousse came out so good. iIt was foamy, airy and so flavorful!! Everyone at the potluck loved it!!

So next time whenever you want to make the egg-free and gelatin-free mousse, do try using vanilla Jell-O pudding. I don't believe in using much of the store bought ready-to eat products due to various additives but using it once in a while is no harm!! 🙂

Ingredients Required to make Mango Mousse with Jell-O Instant Pudding Mix

• Mango puree from fresh mangoes or Canned Mango Puree
• Whipped cream
• 1 Pack of Jell-O pudding

How to make Mango Mousse with Jell-O Pudding

• Puree Mango or use canned puree. Check the tartness of mangoes and sugar accordingly, as the instant pudding and whipped cream also have sugar. If fresh mangoes are a bit tart than add sugar while pureeing.
• Save some puree and mango pieces to garnish while serving the mousse.
• In one cup milk add the Jell-O powder(whole sachet) and then whisk it until it gets thick. Refrigerate till further use.
• Whip the cream till soft peaks. Check here HOW TO WHIP CREAM FOR DESSERTS
• Add mango puree in pudding and lightly fold it.
• Fold the pudding and mango puree mixture with whipped cream. Do not overmix or overbeat as the whipped cream may loose volume.
• Transfer to individual serving glasses/cups or cover with cling film and refrigerate for a couple of hrs before serving.
• Serve it garnished with mango pieces and puree. You may also garnish with small mint/basil leaves.

Notes and Tips to make Perfect Mango Mousse

• If you don't have Jell-O pudding pack, no worries, just whip the cream and mix it up with mango puree and few mango pieces and chill....see so easy!!
• Store-bought mango pulp can also be used for making the mousse.
• Sugar in mousse can be adjusted as per the sweetness of mangoes. If mangoes are more tart or less sweet you can adjust sugar as per your taste. If you are using store-bought mango puree, add less sugar as there is already sugar in it.
• Mousse should be prepared 4-5 hrs before the serving time as it takes time to set and also it tastes best when chilled!! Don't freeze it.

Storing and Shelf Life

You can make mousse a day ahead of your parties and refrigerate it properly covered. Serve in individual portions(shot glasses/pudding cups).

Refrigerate the leftover use in an airtight container and finish within 2-4 days. Whipped cream in mousse starts to loose volume within 2 days. so it is good to finish mousse within 2-4 days.
