Like most Marwaris, I also grew up eating Fruit cream as a fast and go to dessert. As much as its an easy and impressive dessert to impress your guests and loved ones, its not everyone who can make it the authentic way. Now, every time I use the word authentic for “Fruit cream”, people usually give me a very confused look. But what they fail to understand is its not just mixing in fruits, sugar and cream.
A fruit cream is best when the cream is whipped with sugar making those stiff peaks and making it fluffy at the same time. Your fruits should always be fresh and the additional sugar should be based on the fruits you are using and how sweet they are. Small little things and make big changes to your dish.
But here, we aren’t making fruit cream, I am making Mango cream and that too with a little twist. My first time trying to make Mango cream was whipping the cream and mixing in a few mango pieces. I wouldn’t say it wasn’t nice but it was definitely not satisfying as a chef. Instead of making the whole serving with just mango flavor, I divided into half vanilla and half Mango.
The recipe below might remind you of Mango Panacotta, though similar but its very different. Panacotta requires a little more effort and cooking time where as this is you to go recipe and can easily be made in a rush with almost no prep time.

Instructions
Pour heavy cream into a mixing bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over. Mix Gelatin in 2 tbsp of warm water and let stand until gelatin has softened, about 5 minutes. Once it cools down, add it to the cream.
Add sugar and mix well. Keep whisking for 5-7 minutes.
Add honey and mix for another 5 minutes on a medium speed. You will see the cream is almost double in size and the peaks are soft and creamy. At this point, take half of the cream out of the mixing bowl.
Add Vanilla essence to one half and mix well.
Mix in Mango puree and Mango essence in the other half. Mix well. Refrigerate both the mixes in the refrigerator for around an hour.
To set it, we will add them both layer by layer. First add the mango layer, add a few dry fruits. Let it set for 5 mins.
Add the vanilla mix and a few more dry fruits on it and give it 5 mins.
Finally add the mango layer again.
Decorate it with few more nuts.
Recipe Notes
- You can always use Agar Agar as a vegetarian option for Gelatin. Just make sure that you use it according to directions. Agar Agar is 8 times stronger than Gelatin.
- If you can't find good Mangoes, you can always use Mango Puree.
- While setting the layers, be careful and add in the layers lightly. You need the layers to be seen separately from each other.
