- Adjust the honey to suit your sweetness preference, or substitute with maple syrup.
- To add a citrus twist, fold in a teaspoon of lime or lemon zest before refrigerating.
- Ensure the whipping cream is very cold for better volume and easier whipping.
Storage
Store the mango mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It’s best enjoyed fresh, as the texture may start to soften after prolonged storage. To re-fluff before serving, you can gently stir or whisk the mousse, but avoid over-mixing.

FAQs
Can I use frozen mangoes for this mousse?
Yes, thaw frozen mangoes completely and drain any excess liquid before pureeing to avoid a watery mousse.
How do I know when the cream has reached stiff peaks?
When you lift the beaters from the whipped cream, the peaks should stand upright without folding over but still look soft and creamy.
