The inspiration of making this mango mousse cake is come from a novel of Tiger Curse written by Colleen Houck, mentioned the golden fruit of mango which is one of the oblation of Ancient India for the Goddess.
Also, recently gain a new knowledge, a discovery of new mango(since I never know much about mango), the large and round mango, R2E2(Thailand/Australia).
So I decide to make it a mousse cake form since incoming May I'll make a Champagne mousse cake which I planned since last year.
I have make two mango mousse cake, with different way of decoration. Both also satisfied and meet my expectation of the result.
Thailand R2E2
The ripen R2E2 is absolutely aromatic, sweet and juicy flesh. One of my most favorite variety of mango.
Rainbow
Another mango which is also aromatic, delicious as R2E2.
Waterlily
Waterlily has firmer flesh compare to R2E2 or Rainbow, a different kind of sweetness and bright yellow in color.
Mangoes Flesh
Sliced of R2E2
The is the advantage of large and round R2E2. Best for sliced decoration.
Three Kinds of Mangoes Puree
The quality of ingredients will speak itself to the consumer as usual. No jam allowed.
Sablee Crumb Base
I definitely love this biscuit, easy make yet delicious!
Whipped Cream, Soft Peak
Don't whip until stiff peak form, otherwise the mousse cake will be hard like a jelly cake.
Base Filling
Choice on your own hand, fill as you like, decor as you wish.
Unmold Mango Mousse Cake
Voala, simple as you can see.
Golden Mangoes Mousse Cake
For the first time, but isn't it look so awesome?! This idea just suddenly invade my brain. The key is to use large and round mango like R2E2. If insist to use normal mango, be expect to use more mangoes.
