1 cup plain yogurt
1 sachet unflavoured gelatin powder
8 dessert pots or small bowls with a 1/2-cup capacity

Where to find ingredients
Find fresh mangoes and plain yogurt at local supermarkets like Choppies, Sefalana, or Spar. Unflavoured gelatin is typically stocked in the baking aisle. If you cannot find fresh mangoes, high-quality tinned mango pulp is a suitable substitute, though the sweetness may need adjusting.
Preparation method
- Blend the mango in a food processor or blender until you achieve a smooth purée.
- Set the purée aside.
- Whisk the egg whites in a mixing bowl until they start to foam.
- Add the sugar gradually while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Set the whipped egg whites aside.
- Pour the water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over it.
- Let the mixture bloom for about 1 minute.
- Heat the gelatin over a bain-marie until it is completely dissolved and clear.
- Gently whisk the dissolved gelatin into the mango purée.
- Add the yogurt and lemon zest to the fruit mixture, blending well until homogeneous.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mango cream using a silicone spatula to maintain the airiness.
- Divide the mixture into individual serving glasses or small pots.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Garnish with thin slices of fresh mango just before serving.
Observations
This recipe is a fantastic way to finish a meal on a light note. Incorporating whipped egg whites gives the mousse an airy lift, while the yogurt perfectly balances the natural sweetness of the mango with the citrus zest of lemon.
