Easy Mango Chocolate Mousse

This mango chocolate mousse is absolutely delicious and so easy to make. It’s sweet, creamy, and a little tangy. Give this recipe a try if you’re looking for simple homemade treats, like these chocolate covered oranges, which are another tasty option.

Ingredients and Substitutions

You can use either fresh or frozen mango in this mousse. If using frozen, be sure to thaw then drain any excess liquid before adding the mango to the blender.

I like to use dark chocolate with around 70-85% cacao solids in this mousse. That percentage range provides a nice balance of sweetness.

Vanilla extract enhances the other flavors in this mousse. I recommend using pure vanilla extract as opposed to artificial flavoring if possible, since the difference is noticeable.

A small amount of sea salt balances the sweetness of this mousse. You can omit it if you prefer.

How to Make Mango Chocolate Mousse

Add the roughly chopped mango, cold water, vanilla extract, and sea salt to a blender. Blend until smooth.

Melt the chocolate using your preferred method:

Stovetop: Add the chopped dark chocolate to a pan over low heat. Stir constantly until just melted, then remove from the heat. Microwave: Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until melted.

Transfer the melted chocolate to the blender. Blend for approximately 1 minute.

Transfer to a container, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
