A sign of a great Christmas dinner? Everyone feels so full by the time dessert comes around that no one can even look at the yule log. Let’s hear it for Christmas desserts that give us a little boost of sugar at the end of the meal without weighing us down. In this Mango Mousse recipe, the sweet taste of the mango, combined with the scrumptious Canadian 35% cream whipped up into an airy texture, makes for a great complement to the traditionally richer holiday meals. This easy dessert recipe can be made with inexpensive ingredients you’ll find in your local supermarket. Bonus: if you want to double up on Christmas dessert ideas, this mousse will pair great with some Christmas cookies.
