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.

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.
