This strawberry coconut mousse is the ultimate treat for those times when you’re craving something light and refreshing. With its creamy texture and sweet strawberry and coconut flavor, it’s like a delicious bowl of fruity goodness that you can enjoy without any guilt.

🔪 How to Make Keto Strawberry Mousse

Refrigerate a can of full fat unsweetened coconut milk over night so that the cream separates from the water and solidifies.  The cream at the top is what you want, should be thick and creamy.  Once the cream has separated, measure out ½ cup and discard the water.

Add all of the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.

Scrape down the sides and continue mixing until well combined. Allow to set up in the fridge before serving.

Serve with shredded coconut sprinkled over the top and garnish with a strawberry.

💡 Tips for Making Strawberry Coconut Mousse

• For the best flavor, opt for ripe, fresh strawberries. If they’re in season, they’ll give your mousse a burst of natural sweetness.

• Chill your mixing bowl and food processor blades for a few minutes before making the mousse. This helps keep everything cold and enhances the texture.

• If you’re making a larger batch, blend the ingredients in smaller portions to ensure a smoother consistency throughout.

• Depending on your preference and the sweetness of your strawberries, you can tweak the amount of sweetener. Start with less and add more if needed after blending.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Mascarpone cheese: Substitute with cream cheese or Greek yogurt for a different creamy texture.

• Monk fruit/allulose: Swap with sugar-free honey, or sugar-free maple syrup if you prefer a different sweetener. Adjust the quantity based on sweetness preference.

• Fresh herbs: Add a touch of fresh mint or basil for an unexpected fresh herb twist.

• Fruit variations: Get creative! Add raspberries, blackberries or blueberries, you can even omit the berries all together and add a little of this easy to make 5 minute lemon curd

• Spices: Incorporate a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth.

• Nut butters: Swirl in a bit of all-natural peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter for a richer, nutty flavor.

• Chocolate: Fold in some dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for a chocolate-coconut twist.

Can I Make This Recipe in Advance?

Yes, you can prepare the mousse a day or two in advance. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries Instead of Fresh?
