Mango yogurt mousse recipe, with ricotta

A simple and easy mango mousse with yogurt and ricotta as main ingredients. No gelatin or agar agar. Delicious treat for summer and mango season.

Mango mania in my blog continues. This is a simple recipe I made when I was thinking what to do with some leftover ricotta in my pantry.  I have never bought ricotta cheese so far, have always replaced with hung curd or ground paneer. I got this for a television shoot (will update more about it once it’s live). So did not want to waste the ricotta, as well as try something new with it and tried mango yogurt mousse.

On a different note, I think I am going on a short break from blogging. I am in India right now to take care of In laws for sometime. So will be back after 3 weeks or so with interesting recipes. As of now, do follow me in my social media handles to get updates and revisit old recipes. (Instagram, facebook)

Please choose plain, natural yogurt without any artificial flavour or additives/ thickening agents. Also if you want you can use natural sweeteners like honey, agave, maple syrup (though it won’t be low in calorie, it is better for health)
