Last weekend was mother's day! Facebook, twitter, instagram were flooded with mothers' day meals on this special occasion.  As for me, i decided to bake mango mousse cake for my mum. Instead of throwing away the excess mousse from the cake,  i used them to make 2 cups of mango mousse desert for my family. The mango mousse was creamy and not too sweet. Absolutely perfect to eat in such a humid weather.

Recipe: (makes 10 cups) 

Mango mousse:
360ml Heavy Cream
3tbsp Icing Sugar
350g Mango Puree
17g Gelatine
1tbsp Rum
60g Hot water

Mango mirror glaze:
150g Mango puree
1tbsp Gelatine
4.5 tbsp Hot water

1. Whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks with a beater. Add icing sugar and whisk until stiff peaks.
2. Chill the whipped cream. Add gelatine to hot water and stir.
3. Add rum and gelatine mixture to mango puree and mix well.
4. Fold in the mango puree mixture to the chilled whipped heavy cream. Spoon the mango mousse into cups.
5. Chill the mango mousse in the fridge for about 20-30 mins. Meanwhile, make the mango mirror glaze. Dissolve gelatine in hot water. Pour and mix well into the mango puree.
6. When the mousse has more or less set, pour the topping carefully and refrigerate for a couple of hours.
