Thank you so much for posting the Mango Mousse recipe Tatiania! It was my husband's absolute favorite. I'm thinking about ditching the chocolate peppermint cake for Christmas dinner & serving him this instead. It would make Christmas perfect for him. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
It does sound delicious. Is anyone else using Disney recipes for their Xmas dinner? I've made Disney Christmas cookies (pics below) and am making the American Heritage turkey recipe from Andrew Sutton (put it in the brine this morning), along with the Walnut Poultry stuffing (Cooking with Mickey Around the World), the Garden Grill Cranberry Relish, the Yam Casserole from Tusker House and the Christmas Crumble recipe from Raglan Road chef Kevin Dundon. The mincemeat has been sitting for four weeks so should be very good.
The fabulous Epcot Food and Beverage Support CM, Theresa Joiner, send me these recipes out of the blue today. It was such a surprise and I'm happy to share them with you all.

I've made quite a few of the Disney cookie recipes and these Hermits from Cooking with Mickey Volume II were especially delicious.
Also from Cooking with Mickey Volume II (Monorail Cafe) is Gingerbread Mickey.
