Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This Low-Sugar Mango Mousse is a naturally sweetened, airy dessert that’s perfect for hot summer days or when you want something indulgent yet healthy. Made with fresh mango, Greek yogurt, and just a touch of honey, it’s:

✔ Low in Sugar – Only 6g per serving (vs. 20g+ in traditional mousse)
✔ High in Protein – Thanks to Greek yogurt
✔ No Refined Sugar – Sweetened with ripe mango & a hint of honey
✔ Quick & Easy – Ready in 15 minutes (plus chilling time)

Key Ingredients & Why They Work

Fresh Mango – Provides natural sweetness and fiber.
Greek Yogurt – Adds creaminess + protein (or use coconut yogurt for vegan).
Gelatin (or Agar-Agar for Vegan) – Gives structure without heavy cream.
Lemon Juice – Brightens flavors and balances sweetness.
Honey (Optional) – Just a drizzle enhances sweetness if needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Mousse

1. Choosing the Best Mangoes

Use ripe but firm mangoes (like Ataulfo or Kent) for the sweetest flavor.

2. Blending the Base

Puree mango until smooth—straining removes excess fiber for a silkier texture.

3. Stabilizing the Mousse

Gelatin (or agar-agar) ensures the mousse sets without heavy cream.

4. Folding for Airy Texture

Gently fold whipped yogurt into mango puree to keep it light.

Tips for the Best Results

✔ Chill Your Bowl – Helps the mousse whip up faster.
✔ Adjust Sweetness – Taste before adding honey; ripe mangoes may be sweet enough.
✔ Make It Vegan – Use coconut yogurt + agar-agar instead of gelatin.

Serving Suggestions

With Fresh Berries – Adds a tart contrast.
As a Parfait – Layer with granola for crunch.
