Method
Prepare the Mousse

Melt the Gelatin
After the gelatin has bloomed, place it in a microwave for about 10-15 seconds or until melted. Stir to ensure it is completely dissolved and set aside to cool slightly.

Mix Mango and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pureed mangoes and granulated sugar. Mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Add Gelatin to Mango Mixture
Once the gelatin has cooled slightly, add it to the mango mixture along with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.

Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip as you want it to remain fluffy.

Fold the Cream into Mango Mixture
