Ingredients
Scale
For the Mousse:
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (chilled overnight)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (cold)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon blood orange zest
- 1/2 cup fresh blood orange juice (strained)
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon cold water
For Garnish:
- blood orange segments
- toasted coconut flakes
Instructions
- Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, combine gelatin and cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- Prepare the Blood Orange Juice: In a saucepan over low heat, warm the blood orange juice until hot but not boiling. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved, then cool to room temperature.
- Whip the Mousse: In a large mixing bowl, beat the chilled coconut milk, heavy cream, honey, vanilla, and salt until soft peaks form. Fold in the blood orange zest and cooled juice-gelatin mixture.
- Chill and Serve: Spoon the mousse into serving glasses and chill for at least 3 hours until set. Garnish with blood orange segments and toasted coconut flakes before serving.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute additional whipped coconut cream for the heavy cream.
- You can prepare the mousse a day in advance and keep it covered in the fridge.
