Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries:
In a blender or food processor, puree the fresh strawberries until smooth. Add the maple syrup or agave nectar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt, then blend again until well combined. - Chill the Coconut Milk:
Open the can of chilled coconut milk and scoop out the solidified cream into a large bowl, leaving the liquid behind for another use. - Whip the Coconut Cream:
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the coconut cream until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. - Combine:
Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped coconut cream, adding the vanilla extract as you go. Continue folding until the mixture is well combined and smooth. - Chill the Mousse:
Divide the mousse into individual serving cups or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to one day, until set. - Serve:
Once chilled and set, enjoy the mousse garnished with additional fresh strawberries, a sprig of mint, or a sprinkle of coconut flakes if desired.
Notes
- Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup based on your preference.
- Storage: The mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
