Tools & Supplies for Making Mango Dessert Cups
How to Make Mango Dessert Cups
To make the filling, I recommend using a hand-held electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
- In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.
- Portion the crumbs into 28 2-ounce plastic cups. Use one of the plastic cups to press the crumbs into the bottom of the individual cups.
- In a large bowl, cream together cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk until combined and smooth.
- Add the lemon juice and mango puree and mix until combined.
- Add in the heavy whipping cream and whip on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
- Fill a piping bag with the mango mousse mixture and pipe it into the cups until about 3/4 full.
- Top each dessert cup with finely diced fresh mango cubes.
- Seal the cups with a lid and chill. The cups can be served immediately or stored in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
Mango Dessert Cups Recipe Tips
Plastic cups
The plastic cups with lids can be found on Amazon or at your local party supply store. This recipe makes approximately 28 2-ounce cups. This is an estimation. You may have a few more or a few less depending on how much filling you pipe into the cups!
Graham cracker crumbs
Use a food processor to make the graham cracker crumbs. Be sure the crumbs are very fine for best results!
Mango puree
Use fresh or frozen mango! I prefer to go with fresh to make sure that it is very sweet and ripe. Puree the mango in a food processor until it is very smooth for the best texture for the filling.
Storing and serving
These dessert cups can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 days. I love serving these dessert cups right out of a cooler at parties or picnics! The dessert cups can stand out at room temperature for about an hour.
