🍋 ½ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
🥥 1 cup full-fat coconut cream (chilled overnight for best texture)
🍯 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or agave syrup for a lighter taste)
🥄 1 teaspoon lemon zest (for extra flavor)
🥄 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for depth of flavor)
🌿 1 teaspoon cornstarch or agar-agar (optional, for a thicker mousse)
Instructions
📌 1. Prepare the Coconut Cream
- If using canned coconut milk, chill overnight and scoop out only the thick coconut cream (discard or save the liquid for smoothies).
- If using pre-made coconut cream, make sure it’s cold for the best texture.
📌 2. Whip the Cream
- Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the coconut cream until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add maple syrup, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and continue whisking until smooth.
📌 3. Add the Lemon Juice
- Slowly pour in the lemon juice while whisking.
- If using cornstarch or agar-agar, dissolve it in 1 tablespoon warm water before adding to prevent lumps.
📌 4. Chill & Set
- Divide into small serving glasses or ramekins.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to let the flavors meld and mousse firm up.
📌 5. Serve & Enjoy!
- Garnish with fresh berries, coconut flakes, or lemon zest for an elegant touch.
