Mango Mousse with Raspberry Coulis

To make the mousse, in a small bowl, combine the gelatin with the cold water to soften. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the orange juice to just below the boiling point. Remove from the heat, add the gelatin and stir until it dissolves.

Slice off 4 slivers from the mango and reserve. Cut the remaining mango flesh into cubes. Transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer the puree to a glass measuring pitcher; you should have about 1 1/4 cups. Whisk the gelatin mixture into the puree until blended. Let cool for 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until foamy. Add the lemon juice and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the mango mixture. Divide among four 7-fl.-oz. ramekins and smooth the tops. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.

To make the raspberry coulis, in a food processor, combine the raspberries, sugar and framboise and pulse until smooth. Pass the mixture through a medium-mesh sieve set over a bowl and stir in 1/4 tsp. of the lemon juice. Taste and add more lemon juice,if needed. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, up to overnight.

Fill a bowl with hot water and dip the base of a ramekin in the water for about 10 seconds. Run a small knife around the inside rim, then invert the mousse onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining mousses. Spoon the coulis onto 4 dessert plates, top each with a mousse, garnish with a mango sliver and mint sprig, and serve. Serves 4.
