Step 1: Whip the Cream
1️⃣ Pour the cold thickened cream into a large mixing bowl. 2️⃣ Using an electric beater, whip the cream to stiff peaks. Be careful not to overwhip as it can become grainy. Once whipped, place the cream in the fridge until needed.
Step 2: Prepare the Mango Puree
3️⃣ Cut the flesh from the mangoes and blend until smooth using a blender or food processor. 4️⃣ Measure out 2 ¼ cups of mango puree into a medium bowl. 5️⃣ Add the icing sugar and orange zest, and whisk to combine.
Step 3: Dissolve the Gelatine
6️⃣ In a small saucepan, pour in the orange juice and sprinkle gelatine evenly over the top. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes to soften. 7️⃣ Turn the heat to low and stir until the gelatine is fully dissolved. Make sure not to boil the mixture, and remove from heat as soon as the gelatine dissolves.
Step 4: Combine the Mango Puree and Gelatine
8️⃣ Pour the gelatine mixture into the mango puree and whisk immediately to combine.
Step 5: Fold Mango into Whipped Cream
9️⃣ Gently fold one-third of the mango mixture into the whipped cream using a spatula. When just a few streaks remain, add the next portion of the mango mixture. Repeat until fully combined. 1f51f Make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl to ensure all the cream and mango are mixed well.
