I have loved making mousse cakes since pastry school, so I knew I needed a recipe on Cambrea Bakes! It is an easy (yet totally elegant) dessert that is perfect when you want something light and not too heavy.

My mango crepe cake and mango cookies inspired me to keep playing with mango flavors, and thus this mango mousse cake was born! This recipe is too beautiful (and delicious) to not share at your next summer occasion!

My Kitchen Antics: Mango Mousse Cake

Mangoes: I tested this mango mousse cake with frozen and fresh mango, and I recommend frozen for convenience. Otherwise, you will have to cut up a lot of fresh mangoes! If you want to use fresh ones, make sure they are ripe.

Gelatin: Unflavored gelatin is used to set the mousse. I don't recommend using agar agar, because it does not have an equal 1:1 ratio for substituting.

Sour cream: You can substitute it with full-fat plain Greek yogurt if needed. This ingredient is important for bringing richness and moisture which keeps it moist for days, similar to my Biscoff cake.

Whole milk: Like sour cream, whole milk provides moisture and richness to the cake. I don't recommend using plant-based milk or it will be drier.

Step 1: Combine the dry ingredients and butter. In a stand mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Then mix in the cubed unsalted butter until it

Step 2: Mix in the wet ingredients. Mix in the sour cream and canola oil until it turns into a paste. Scrape down the bowl, then stream in the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.

Step 3: Pour into a spring-form pan .Pour the cake batter into the bottom of the spring form pan. Bake for 15-17 minutes, then let the pan cool completely on a wire rack.

The cake MUST be cool before assembling or everything will melt! Once it is cool, remove and wash the sides of the pan. It will ensure a clean removal once the mousse is on top.

Pour it back into the pot and stir in the bloomed gelatin. Cook for 2-3 minutes longer, then chill the mango puree in an ice bath until it feels room temperature.

Step 7: Make the mousse layer. Evenly spread half of the mango mousse on top of the cake layer.Then spread half of the reserved mango puree over the top of the mousse.

Step 8: Layer the mango puree.Dollop the rest of the mango puree on top and use a toothpick to swirl it into the mousse.

Step 9: Chill before serving. Before serving, chill it in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours, overnight is best! You can garnish the top edge with diced mangoes or serve it as is. Enjoy your mango mousse cake!

Simple Indulgence: Mango Mousse Cake

If you prefer to freeze some for later, store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.

No, mango juice is mostly liquid and will not work the same! You can purchase mango puree in cans if you can find them, I always find them in Asian markets!

If the mousse is not set, it's likely you didn't use all of the required gelatin, it hasn't chilled long enough, or the whipped cream was under-whipped.

*Measure your flour properly. This is my #1 baking tip! Do not ever scoop a measuring cup into your flour as this always leads to using too much flour. Instead, use the spoon-level method. This means fluffing the flour first, then spooning it into your measuring cup/spoon. For the BEST results, use a kitchen scale !*

Since 2016, Cambrea has been developing recipes inspired by her experience working in high end bakeries.This mango mousse cake is an incredibly light and fresh Summer dessert that is perfect for a special occasion. The buttery, crunchy sablé base is topped with a light and airy mango mousse and finished with a creamy lime and mango curd.

This mango mousse cake has the most incredibly fresh and bright flavours with not too much sweetness. When you take a bite of this cake, the tastes and textures all come together in a perfect combination of crunchy, creamy, buttery and sweet.

Vegan Mango Mousse Cake

The cake is made out of three delicious layers: a Sablé Breton base (salted butter cookie), a fluffy and fresh mango mousse packed fresh cubes of mango and a creamy mango curd. Top the cake with fresh slices of mango, some lime zest and coconut for the perfect finish.

Whether you serve it as a special occasion dessert or just because, this mango mousse cake is sure to be a hit with everyone this Summer!

Mango

You could replace the sablé layer with a sponge cake if you want, but I personally prefer the extra texture and crunch a sablé adds to the cake.

Mango Mousse Cake With Coconut (dairy Free, Eggless)

I finished the cake with strips of very thinly sliced mango, a bit of lime zest for colour and freshness and a sprinkle of desiccated coconut for extra texture and flavour.

The first step is to prepare the cookie crust. It is the only element of the cake that needs to be baked. I can be made by hands with a whisk and spatula, or in your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.

I personally like to keep some texture inside my curd so I used a rather thick mango puree. If you want a very smooth mango curd, you can blend the flesh for longer, add a little bit of water to it and / or pour it through a thin mesh sieve before using it.

Mango Yogurt Mousse Cake

Make sure not to go over medium heat or the eggs will cook too quickly and start to scramble, resulting in a curdle or lumpy curd. The curd should only simmer and never boil.

Mango puree is simply made from blending mango flesh until very smooth. It is then poured through a fine mesh sieve to remove any strings or bits of un-mixed mango.

You can buy pre-made mango puree from some speciality shops, which often comes frozen. It can be used here once thawed - as long as it is made from 100% mango.

Hawaiian Dessert Recipe: No Bake Mango Mousse Cake

Unfortunately, no - the mousse is not stable enough to set fully without the gelatine. It will remain quite soft and not set properly without it.

Although technically, agar powder will work as a substitute (in much smaller quantity), it is trickier to use as it starts setting the mixture as soon as the temperature drops.

That means that by the time the mixture has cooled down enough to fold in the whipped cream, the mango mixture will have completely set.

Easy No Bake Mango Mousse Cheesecake

I used a 10 inch / 26 cm cake ring (sometimes called mousse ring) with acetate strips (plastic strips) to get a clean edge once set.

If you don't have a cake ring, you could use a springform pan (with or without the bottom plate) with acetate strips (or baking paper).

The mousse cake is topped with a thin layer of creamy Mango Curd. For an even fresher taste, you could substitute the curd for some Mango Coulis or create a delicious tropical flavour with some Passion Fruit Curd for example.

Mango Sago Mousse Cake

I decorated the cake with thin slices of mango, swirled around the cake to create a fun pattern. The cake is finished with lime zest and desiccated coconut for colour and flavour.

This mango mousse cake needs to be stored in the fridge. It is best eaten within 2 days, but will last for 3 in the fridge. If you plan on serving it for a dinner or special occasion, it will be perfect to make in advance.
