Instructions
Pour the cold cream into a large mixing bowl and use an electric beater to beat to stiff peaks. Careful not to overwhip it or it will become grainy. Chill until required.
Cut the flesh from the mangoes and add to a blender or food processor. Blend to a smooth puree.
Measure 2 ¼ cups of mango puree into a medium bowl. Add the sugar and orange zest and whisk to combine.
In a very small saucepan or milk pan, pour the orange juice, then sprinkle the gelatine over the top evenly. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes to soften.
Turn the heat on low under the pan and stir until the gelatine has dissolved - make sure not to bring it to a boil and remove it from the heat if you see any bubble. Take care to make sure the gelatine is completely dissolved so you don't end up with lumps in your mousse.
Pour the gelatine mixture into the mango puree and immediately whisk to combine.
Pour one third of the mango mixture into the whipped cream and use a spatula to gently fold it together. When there are just a few streaks remaining add the next portion of mango. Repeat until it's fully folded together. Make sure to scrape right from the bottom of the bowl so all the cream and mango are incorporated.
Divide among 6 ramekins or small glasses. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight to set.
Finely slice or cube the extra mango to decorate the mousses.

Notes
Tablespoons: I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon - equal to 4 teaspoons. Many countries use a 15ml tablespoon as standard so check before measuring.
Cream must be full fat - 36% milkfat is best.
Mango: I find fresh mangoes best but you can also use frozen mango pulp (thawed) or canned or jarred mango (drained).
