Mango Mousse

Submitted by dicentra

"This is from my new low-carb cookbook. My friend, Tiffy is going to love this! I bet you could use peaches or apricots instead of the mangoes. Prep time doesn't include the 2 hours 45 min chill/freeze time."

• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 2 mangoes, peeled seeded and chopped
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 (1 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin

I tweaked this recipe somewhat: I added agave nectar (instead of sugar) to the mango mixture after bringing it to a boil, along with a teaspoon each of lemon zest and vanilla extract - then the lemon juice as called for. When it was time to fold in the whipped topping, I substituted plain yogurt cream cheese (Greek yogurt). When serving it for dessert after dinner, I topped it with some fresh blueberries - delicious!

Just made this. Followed the exact recipe with fresh Hawaii mango. It is EXCELLENT. Light and creamy; not too sweet. Loved it. Thanks!
