Mango and Sicilian Orange Mousse

Mango and Sicilian Orange Mousse. Today I propose a “mousse”, “pudding”, suitable for all ages, or for those following restrictive diets.
I paired the oranges with mango which has now become a reality in my land.
A new product that is not new is appearing on the fruit vendors’ stands: mango, which is now made in Sicily.
Because now this fruit can be grown in my “Land of the sun”, with excellent results for quality and taste. A true excellence and delicacy.
The mango is rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, beta carotene, and provitamin A.
I present to you the 2 versions of the recipe: the classic and subsequently with Bimby.
