Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mangoes
- Peel and chop ripe mangoes. Blend them until you get a smooth, silky puree with no lumps.
Step 2: Mix the Base
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mango puree, yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and honey if using.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
- Whisk or blend everything together until the mixture becomes creamy and airy.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
- Taste the mixture. If your mangoes are very sweet, you may not need any extra sweetener.
Step 5: Chill the Mousse
