TROPICAL MOUSSE
At less than 150 calories, this dessert will steal the show! Although perfect for hot weather, I often make this as a finale to a heavy meal in the winter months. When fresh mangoes aren't available, I use the jar variety found in the produce section with equal success. This is a winner with my "low-cal, low-fat, low-sugar" friends! Cook time is really freeze time.

Steps:
- In a food processor or blender, blend mangoes until smooth.

Tips:
- Soak the gelatin in cold water before adding it to the hot liquid. This will prevent it from clumping.
- Use fresh fruit for the best flavor. If you're using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using it.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly.
- Garnish the mousse with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings before serving.
- To make a vegan mousse, use silken tofu instead of cream and agar-agar powder instead of gelatin.
