Mango Mousse Meringues

Ingredients:

Mango Mousse
  • 1 1/4 cup cream
  • 5 tbs sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate, chopped
  • 5 Champagne® mangos, peeled, seeded and sliced
  • 3 tsp granulated gelatin
  • 3 tbs cold water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
Meringue Cups
  • 2 egg whites
  • 4 tbs sugar
  • 4 tbs powdered sugar

Instructions:

For the meringue cups, pre-heat the oven to 250º.

Using a glass or cup as a guide, trace 12 - 3 or 4-inch circles on a full sheet of parchment paper. Flip the paper over so the inked side is down. Whip egg whites until soft peaks then slowly add granulated sugar while continually whipping until stiff glossy peaks are formed.

Sift and fold the powdered sugar into this meringue. Place the meringue in a pastry bag fitted with a plain large tip (approx. 6 or 7). Pipe the meringue on the parchment paper using the circles that you drew as a guide. Work from the outside to the inside, and then pipe an extra ring around the outside edge.

Bake the meringue cups in the 250º oven for about 1 hour until crisp throughout.

For the mousse: Drop the pieces of mango into the food processor and puree until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of Champagne® mango puree. Add the lemon juice to the mango puree and set aside.

Whip cream and about half of the sugar to medium peaks and refrigerate.

Next, bloom gelatin in water, then dissolve over low heat. Melt white chocolate and mix it into the puree along with the warm gelatin. Whip whites and the remaining sugar to soft peaks. Fold whites then whipped cream into the mango and chocolate mixture.

Place the mousse into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the mousse into the meringue cups.

Garnish with any tropical fruit sauce and toasted coconut.
