Mango season!!! Alas, not here. But everywhere else it is mango season. Yeah being down under sometimes does make me feel a teeny bit isolated from the rest of the world in terms of food and seasons. But the virtual world more than makes up for it and I am able to share my favourite recipes for the northern hemisphere to enjoy. I had shot a few mango creations back in our summer days for my stock photo agency. Food images however, don’t make sense to me without a delicious recipe or the story they narrate. So I always take the opportunity to make something quick and easy that I could photograph as well as serve to my friends. And of course, any excuse to eat mangoes or for that matter, even mousse!

This is one of the easiest mousse recipes I have tried out. Actually, I’ve eaten this kind of mousse a number of times back in India where patisseries and cafes would usually avoid the egg in desserts as they would cater to many vegetarian customers. Since the quantity of fruit puree is significantly higher to the quantity of cream, the fruit literally sings in your mouth. The cream is only there to give the eggless mango mousse a body and some extra creaminess. The colour and sweetness of this mousse will vary according to the type/variety of mangoes used. I miss summer a lot and keep telling myself that Spring is around the corner. Hope you guys on the other side of the world are getting to eat heaps of mangoes and cherries. Enjoy them for me too:-)
