This delicious mango mousse dessert brings back so many amazing memories from growing up in Mexico. During the months of April and May, it is mango season. Where I grew up, everyone was excited for this time of year because it brought work for so many people.

The people that grew mangoes harvested them, packed, them, and sold them. Mangoes are so popular in Mexico and I will always remember with fondness that time of year and all of the fun activities and events that we all participated in.

This mango mousse recipe is easy to make, incredibly creamy, and perfect for a quick and easy dessert.

Mexico may be more known for its antojitos, like tacos, tostadas, empanadas, and more, but we also have some tasty desserts! Today I am going to share with you one of my favorite desserts, which is mango gelatina, made with fresh mangoes and also includes cream cheese to give it an even creamier texture.

Making homemade gelatin is really pretty simple, and there are many different combinations and ways to do it. Of course you can just buy the pre-flavored packets at the store, but making everything from scratch is an even better way to do it. I personally prefer to make this tasty mango dessert and others from home, especially on a hot day where the whole family is craving something sweet and delicious.

What is Mango Gelatin?

Mango gelatin, or in Spanish, Gelatina de Mango, is creamy, sweet, and a favorite dessert in my family. It is best when you can use ripe mangoes since they tend to be sweeter which will result in a better end result for this recipe. Gelatin in general is a favorite among children, and my kids are no exception. Whenever I make any variety, they gobble it up as fast as they can, but the mango flavor is always one of their favorites.

This tasty dessert is easy to make and won’t cost a lot of money either, so it is a perfect option for any family.

How do you make Mango Gelatin?

Like I said above, this recipe is easy to make and uses simple ingredients. You will need the following to get started:

• Large, ripe mangoes (manila or ataulfo work great)
• Whole Milk
• Evaporated Milk
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Mexican crema
• Cream cheese
• Unflavored gelatin powder
• warm water

Once you have gathered the ingredients, you will need to follow the instructions below.

First, you will need to sprinkle gelatin in the water and mix well to dissolve the gelatin powder. Let sit for about 15 minutes.

Next, peel the mangoes and cut the mango into medium-sized mango cubes. Add them to your blender or food processor with the whole milk and blend until it reaches a somewhat thick consistency.

Add the above mixture to a medium sized pan and and heat over medium heat, stirring often and not allowing it to boil. After about 5 minutes, lower to the lowest heat possible.

The next step is to heat the previously prepared gelatin mixture in the microwave for about 30 seconds so that it returns to a liquid state. Add to the pan with the fresh mango purée and mix well until completely disssolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

The final step is to blend the cream cheese, evaporated milk, crema, and sweetended condensed milk in a blender, adding that mixture to the mango mixture and stirring well. Add this to the gelatin mold of your choice and refrigerate for a minimum of 3-4 hours.

Creamy Mango Mousse is a perfect choice for an after school snack. Full of flavor, creamy, and the perfect amount of sweetness to keep your kids happy.

If you have been following my site for awhile, you probably know that I love mangoes! I grew up on a large ranch in Mexico and there were Mango trees all over the place. I always loved going out with my siblings and cousins to pick mangoes. Of course we had to eat some on our way home. Those are some of my favorite memories from growing up.

We didn’t only go out on the weekends to pick mangoes – we also would stop on the way home from school so that we could have a delicious after school snack.

Now that I am a mom with two little boys in school this year, I always like to make sure that they have some delicious snacks to eat when they get home as well. The after school snack that I am sharing today is my way of sharing a little bit of my childhood with them. This creamy mango mousse is so easy to make, it is delicious, and the kids love it!

One of the secrets to this recipe is to use Nestlé Coffee-mate® Natural Bliss® Sweet Cream liquid coffee creamer. It is a perfect way to add an extra touch of creaminess. Coffee-mate Natural Bliss is made with milk, cream, pure cane sugar, and natural flavoring. I used it for the first time in this recipe and I am glad that I did! You can buy it at your local Walmart along with other great products from the Nestlé’s Back to School Product Shelf, which you can check out here.

Whenever the school year starts, I like to stock up on Nestlé products. There is something for all of my kids, which makes me a happy mommy.

When I made this creamy mango mousse recipe for the first time, my husband and my kids absolutely loved it. The creamy texture is perfect and adding fresh mangoes on top is a nice touch.

I hope that you enjoy this as much as my family and I did. Let me know in the comments below how it turned out!
