Easy Mango Mousse with Mango Jello – Eggless and Vegetarian
One of our favorite all-time fruits in the family is Mango. When they are in season the kids will ask for them every day. Almost all desserts will be around mango whether it’s a mango mousse, mango pudding, jello or plain custard.
As a kid, one of the most common desserts during mango season would be mango custard which actually is just Classic French Vanilla Pastry Cream with Mango Puree. It’s absolutely delicious. Of course, the mousse makes for a more light and airy dessert because of the addition of whipped cream.
Eggless Mango Mousse Recipe – Easy Mango Mousse, Mango Dessert, Gluten Free Mango Mousse
Let’s talk ingredients (Save/Pin)
- Agar-Agar/gelatin – I’m not a vegetarian and yet I prefer to use agar-agar instead of gelatin because it’s plant-based so a bit more healthy than gelatin.
- Eggless Vanilla Pastry Cream – This is, of course, eggless so vegetarian.
You can use my decadent and delicious classic French vanilla pastry cream if you can eat egg yolks but I usually do prefer to keep my desserts lite for the family and the eggless works better in terms of fewer calories. - Whipping Cream – This adds lightness to the mousse and gives it that melt in the mouthfeel. Always a good high percentage fat content when making mousse or the mousse will be very limp and not set firm.

Hi! Could you use the recipe and simply change fruits? My husband likes strawberries and I’d love to try a strawberry mousse!
I think you can – strawberry will work just as well.
Thank you! Would you recommend this as a mousse cake for mirror glaze?
I have used this mango mousse for a mango cake. I think I added a tsp more of agar agar.
I’ve made this with blueberry and gelatin to make a mirror cake for hubbys birthday tomorrow! Will use your mirror glaze recipe. I made a vanilla sponge cake for the base. Yum!
Thank you so so so much for your guidance and advice!
Ah.. sounds so delish Angel.. always a pleasure Happy Birthday to your hubby. He’s very lucky to have you make his cake.
This looks so rich, creamy, wonderful and delicious. What could be better?
Thanks Hannah – you said it.. it is rich, creamy, wonderful and delicious. Perfect summer dessert
I’m going to have to give agar agar a chance. I’m not a vegetarian at the least bit, but gelatin always grosses me out!
I know what you mean Derek.. I do use gelatin but why not go with a plant based option enh?
Yum! I love mango-flavored ANYTHING. This sounds so light and refreshing!
It sure is light and refreshing. I think anything mango is refreshing. Thanks Elizabeth
I’ve never worked with agar agar before — and I’m not even certain where to find it around here. These little parfaits are beautiful though – and mango season is coming in just a few short months…
Lisa I have to buy agar agar from overseas too!! But I do so because it’s plant based unlike regular gelatin. I usually freeze mangoes and strawberries when they are in season so I can make such goodies thru out the year. Thanks for the comment.
I agree, mangoes are the best!! Usually I eat them just as they are, but this mouse sounds so incredible. I’ll have to try this the next time I have some ripe mangoes!
Thanks Willow.. Yeah we are big mango fans so it’s an absolute must during summer for us.
Thank you Veena. You mean so much to my career. May more blessings come your way
Thank you so much for your sweet words Linda. Means a lot to me.
