Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup water
3/4 cup couscous
4 tablespoons sugar
2 juice oranges, preferably Valencia
2 tablespoons orange flavored liqueur
1 ripe mango (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream, chilled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8-ounce) container vanilla yogurt

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the couscous in a stream. Stir once. Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand until the couscous is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Mix in 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Cover tightly set aside.
  • Scrub one of the oranges under running water and pat dry. With a vegetable peeler, remove the zest, being careful not to peel away any of the white pith. Finely mince the zest. Set aside.
  • Squeeze the oranges to obtain about 3/4 cup of juice. Strain through a medium-meshed sieve into a small saucepan. Over medium heat, boil down the juice until it has reduced to about 2 tablespoons, and has the consistency of molten honey, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the liqueur. Set aside.
  • Peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the seed. Cut half into thin wedges and coarsely dice the rest. Set aside.
  • In chilled metal bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold in the vanilla and the remaining sugar. Refrigerate 1 cup of the whipped cream for serving. In a medium bowl, combine the rest of the whipped cream with the yogurt and the diced mango. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Before serving, combine the yogurt-mango mixture with the couscous. Spoon equal amounts into 6 parfait glasses or small bowls. Top each dessert with a generous dollop of the reserved whipped cream and mango wedges. Drizzle with orange sauce, sprinkle with minced orange zest, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe mangoes: The sweetness and flavor of the mousse depend on the quality of the mangoes. Make sure to use ripe, juicy mangoes for the best results.
  • Use a blender or food processor: A blender or food processor will help you achieve a smooth and creamy mousse. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can mash the mangoes by hand, but it will take more time and effort.
  • Chill the mousse before serving: Chilling the mousse for at least 2 hours or overnight will help it set and develop its full flavor. You can also freeze the mousse for up to 2 weeks.
  • Garnish with fresh mint or lime zest: Fresh mint or lime zest adds a refreshing flavor and aroma to the mousse. You can also top it with whipped cream or chopped nuts for a more decadent dessert.

Conclusion:

Cuban mango mousse is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a fan of mangoes or simply looking for a new dessert to try, Cuban mango mousse is sure to please.
