Ingredients:
2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup condensed milk
1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk, based on preference)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar (optional, depending on the sweetness of the mangoes)
1 tablespoon gelatin (optional, for a firmer texture)
1/4 cup cold water (for dissolving gelatin, if using)
Instructions:
Prepare the Mango Puree:
Blend the diced mangoes in a blender or food processor until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can leave some small mango pieces in the puree.
Whip the Cream:
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. You can use an electric mixer for faster results.
Sweeten and Flavor:
Gently fold in the condensed milk, vanilla extract, and sugar (if using) into the whipped cream. Mix until well combined.
Incorporate the Mango Puree:
Gently fold the mango puree into the cream mixture until it is well incorporated and you have a smooth, creamy consistency.
Add Chocolate Chips:
Stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Gelatin Option (for a firmer dessert):
If you prefer a firmer texture, dissolve the gelatin in cold water and let it sit for a few minutes to bloom. Then, gently heat it until fully dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly before folding it into the mango and cream mixture.
Chill the Dessert:
Pour the mixture into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until set and chilled.
Serve:
Serve the dessert chilled, directly from the refrigerator. It can be garnished with extra chocolate chips, mango slices, or a sprig of mint for added presentation.
Notes:
This dessert is versatile and can be made with or without the gelatin depending on whether you prefer a mousse-like texture or a firmer set dessert.
For a variation, you can also layer this dessert with crumbled cookies or graham crackers for added texture.
This Creamy Mango and Chocolate Chip Dessert is a refreshing and indulgent treat perfect for warm weather or as a sweet ending to any meal. Enjoy!
