It’s light, its fluffy and it tastes delicious. Even better still, it takes about 3 minutes and only uses 3 ingredients.

With no eggs or milk, this mousse is dairy free, gluten free and suitable for vegans.

You will need to put a can of coconut cream in the fridge the night before you make this to thicken it up.

Without sounding like a spoil sport, I do have to let you know that this recipe is still a mousse and as such, considered a ‘sometimes’ food. Served in a 30ml shotglass is the perfect portion for a delicious treat. 

Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 – 2 cans coconut cream (you will need 1 cup of the solidified coconut cream from the top of the can for this recipe. Because every brand differs you may require 2 cans to obtain 1 cup of solidified coconut cream).
