Indulge in a healthy Coconut Chia Matcha Mousse topped with a refreshing Tropical Fruit Medley. Perfectly balanced, vegan-friendly dessert!
Ingredients
- • coconut milk: 1 can (13.5 oz)
- • chia seeds: 1/4 cup
- • matcha powder: 1 tablespoon
- • maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • mango: 1, diced
- • kiwi: 1, peeled and sliced
- • pineapple: 1/2 cup, diced
- • passion fruit: 1, pulp only
- • mint leaves: for garnish
Instructions
- 1 In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, chia seeds, matcha powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Ensure there are no clumps of matcha powder for a smooth mousse texture.
- 2 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and create a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- 3 Before serving, prepare the tropical fruit medley by combining the diced mango, sliced kiwi, diced pineapple, and passion fruit pulp in a separate bowl. Toss gently to mix.
- 4 Divide the chilled matcha mousse into four serving dishes. Top each with a generous spoonful of the tropical fruit medley. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.
- 5 Serve immediately for a refreshing dessert or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Coconut Chia Matcha Mousse pairs beautifully with a side of toasted coconut flakes for an extra layer of crunch. For a more decadent touch, consider drizzling a small amount of dark chocolate sauce over the fruit medley. Complement your dessert with a cup of herbal tea, such as chamomile or lemon balm, to balance the flavors and enhance the overall dining experience.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain the freshness of the fruit medley, it's best to prepare it just before serving. If you must store the fruit, keep it in a separate container and consume within 24 hours to retain its vibrant flavor and texture.
