Fantastic! I always change recipes and this is no exception, so here's what I did: 4 mangos, 8oz cream cheese (very softened), zest from a whole small lime (not key lime), 6 tablespoons of brown sugar and 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. I blended all ingredients except whipping cream in the blender until smooth. Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks formed (approx. 8 mins. on high) then GENTLY folded both together. It was so delicious, I had to stop myself to save some for dessert! Be sure to refrigerate for 1 hour prior to serving. I did not use the baking crust, just served them in a bowl, and no coconut. ***After eating, I would change one thing... it was very creamy, so I'd reduce the whipping cream to 1 cup instead of 2 to bring out more mango. (I forgot to account for the previously whipped measurement of frozen topping when I changed it to 2 cups of heavy cream prior to whipping, if that makes sense.)***

Although this is a light and refreshing dessert, I was a little let down with the lack of flavor from the mango and the over powering flavor of the lime zest. It also lacked the firm body of a mousse. I will make this again with a few changes; fresh whipped cream instead of Cool Whip, more cream cheese and less lime zest. A definate keeper for a hot summer evening.
