Yellow Mango Mousse

Mango Mousse - ButterYum


Most people are familiar with mangoes, but do you know about yellow mangoes?  You might also see them called Manila, champagne, young, baby, honey, Ataulfo, or Adolfo mangoes.  In the photo above, you can see the yellow mango is shaped differently than more common varieties.  I prefer yellow mangoes for their delicately sweet flavor and "stringless" texture.  Another great feature - they have one of the thinnest seeds among all mango varieties so you get more mango for your money.  These tasty fruits cost about $1 and are in season from March through September.

This mousse can be made up to 24 hours in advance and requires no cooking so it's a cinch to put together.  I hope you'll give it a try.
