💡 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.

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

    1. I have not tried using ricotta in this mousse recipe. I would imagine it would be a little too heavy, but you can certainly try.
