Mango Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice (optional, to enhance flavor)
- Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mangoes: In a blender or food processor, puree the diced mangoes until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can reserve some diced mango for later and mix it in after pureeing.
-
Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as you want a light and airy texture.
-
Combine: Gently fold the mango puree into the whipped cream until well combined. If you reserved some diced mango, fold it in at this stage for added texture. If using, add the lemon or lime juice to enhance the flavor.
-
Chill: Transfer the mango cream to serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
-
Serve: Before serving, give the mango cream a gentle stir. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy it on its own or as a topping for cakes, pancakes, or waffles.
Tips:
- For a tropical twist, you can add shredded coconut or crushed pineapple to the mango cream.
- This dessert can be made a day in advance, making it a great option for entertaining.
Enjoy!
