Yield Serves 3-4

Number Of Ingredients 5

400g tin of coconut milk
3 medium eggs, separated
75g local organic honey (or less)
Juice and zest of 2 unwaxed organic lemons
A pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Chill the coconut tin in the fridge for at least 2 hours, so that the coconut cream floats to the top. You only need to use the cream, so keep the rest of the milk to flavor a soup or a smoothie.
  • Place the egg yolks, honey, lemon zest and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water and whisk constantly for about 10 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, scoop out the chilled coconut cream from the top of the tin into a bowl and beat with a whisk or spoon until stiff.
  • In separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites and sea salt until stiff.
  • Fold the lemon mixture into the coconut cream, then gently fold in the egg whites.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, then spoon into pretty glasses or bowls to serve.

Tips:

  • For a richer mousse, use full-fat coconut milk.
  • If you don't have coconut extract, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • To make the mousse ahead of time, prepare it up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
  • For a vegan mousse, use silken tofu instead of cream cheese.
  • To make a chocolate mousse, add 1/2 cup of melted dark chocolate to the mousse mixture.
  • For a raspberry mousse, add 1/2 cup of pureed raspberries to the mousse mixture.
  • For a key lime mousse, use key lime juice instead of lemon juice.
