- 2 cups mango juice (fresh or store-bought)
- 1 cup water
- 1 package (3 oz) unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh mango slices for garnish (optional)
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat.
- Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the mango juice in a bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
- After blooming, add the hot water and sugar mixture to the bowl with the gelatin and mango juice. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
- Pour the mixture into a mold or individual serving cups. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.
- Once the gelatin is set, remove it from the mold or cups. Top each serving with a generous dollop of the cream cheese mixture.
- Garnish with fresh mango slices if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, add shredded coconut to the cream cheese mixture or sprinkle it on top before serving.
- Substitute the mango juice with other fruit juices like pineapple or passion fruit for a different flavor profile.
