The Easiest Mango Vanilla Mousse

By Bettina Campolucci Bordi

I first made this dish in Zanzibar when I had access to very good juicy mangoes and homemade coconut oil. Now I get to share the goodness with all of you.

Ingredients

• 600 g chopped mature sweet mango
• cup melted coconut oil
• 1 vanilla pod (bean), scraped

To serve:

• Fresh mango slices
• Raspberries
• Mint leaves
• Black sesame seeds

Preparation

Add all the mousse ingredients to a high-speed blender and blitz until well incorporated. The oil needs to completely emulsify with the mango, so make sure there are no white dots in the mix but its just a beautiful orange colour.

Pour into individual glasses and let the mousse set in the fridge for 3 hours. Once set, top with fresh mango slices, raspberries, mint leaves and sprinkles of black sesame seeds for colour and crunch.
