The Ultimate Mango Mousse Cake

A light, airy, and intensely flavorful mango mousse cake recipe featuring a buttery crust and a silky tropical mousse layer.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

200g Digestive biscuits or Graham crackers
100g Unsalted butter, melted
500g Fresh mango puree (from about 3–4 large mangos)
15g Gelatin powder
60ml Cold water (to bloom gelatin)
400ml Heavy whipping cream (chilled)
100g Granulated sugar (adjust based on mango sweetness)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tbsp Lemon juice
Fresh mango slices for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Step 2: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it blooms.
Step 3: Puree the mango flesh with sugar and lemon juice until completely smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
Step 4: Gently heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until fully melted. Stir a few tablespoons of mango puree into the gelatin to temper it, then stir the gelatin mixture back into the main mango puree.
Step 5: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Step 6: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture in three additions, using a spatula to keep the mousse light and airy.
Step 7: Pour the mousse over the prepared base. Smooth the top with an offset spatula and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients, especially the cream, are very cold before starting for the best mousse stability.
