Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned coconut cream (chilled overnight)
- 2 tablespoons raw honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites (from pasture-raised eggs)
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
Instructions
1. Chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to ensure the coconut cream whips properly.
2. Open the can of chilled coconut cream and scoop out the solid cream from the top (discard the liquid or save for smoothies).
3. In the cold mixing bowl, beat the coconut cream with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until it becomes fluffy and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the raw honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract to the whipped coconut cream. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
5. In a separate clean bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of sea salt. Using clean beaters, whip the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the sweetened coconut cream mixture, being careful not to deflate the airiness of the egg whites.
7. Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow it to set.
8. Serve chilled and enjoy your Paleo Vanilla Mousse! Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs.
