Dive into a healthy dessert with our Tropical Avocado Mango Coconut Mousse, a creamy, vegan treat packed with fresh fruit and natural sweetness.
Ingredients
- • ripe avocados: 2, peeled and pitted
- • fresh mango: 1 cup, diced
- • full-fat coconut milk: 1/2 cup
- • raw honey or agave nectar: 2 tablespoons
- • fresh lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • unsweetened shredded coconut: 1/4 cup
- • vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- • pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- 1 Start by preparing your ingredients. Dice the mango and scoop out the avocado flesh into a blender or food processor. This ensures a smooth and creamy texture in the final mousse.
- 2 Add the coconut milk, honey (or agave nectar for a vegan option), lime juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.
- 3 Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more honey or agave nectar if needed. Remember that the natural sweetness of the mango will intensify as the mousse chills.
- 4 Transfer the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up slightly.
- 5 Before serving, garnish with shredded coconut for added texture and a hint of tropical flair. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing combination of flavors.
Serving Suggestions
- • This Tropical Avocado Mango Coconut Mousse pairs beautifully with a side of fresh mixed berries, enhancing its tropical appeal with a splash of color and additional nutrients. For a refreshing beverage pairing, consider a chilled herbal tea such as hibiscus or lemongrass, which complements the mousse's tropical flavors without overpowering them. Alternatively, a sparkling water with a slice of lime can add a fizzy, refreshing touch. For a more indulgent touch, top the mousse with a few dark chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of toasted nuts like almonds or macadamias, which offer a delightful contrast in texture and an additional layer of flavor.
Storage Tips
This mousse is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days. Ensure it is covered tightly with plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent browning. If you notice any browning on the surface, simply scrape it off before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture may become grainy upon thawing.
