Mango Glaze Ingredients:

Combine with the rest of the mango mixture. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar to soft peaks and fold into the mango mixture.
- For the Mango Glaze: Dissolve gelatin in a small amount of water. Heat a portion of the mango pulp, then mix in the gelatin until dissolved. Combine with the remaining pulp.
