Kelly lives in California and just came back from the dollar store with a bounty of fresh mangoes. She called me in New York and exclaimed that she wanted to make something with mangoes in it. I suggested that we create a recipe for a Glazed Mango Mousse Cake similar to the ones I fell in love from my travels to Thailand. We like to use fresh fruit and flavors whenever we can, so we created this tangy rum flavored mango mirror glaze that puts just the right shine on the cake.
