1. Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. This process helps soften them for an ultra-creamy texture.
2. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the soaked cashews, coconut cream, lime juice, lime zest, maple syrup, avocado, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
3. Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender and ensure everything is incorporated evenly.
4. Taste-test the mousse. If desired, adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup or tanginess by adding extra lime juice.
5. Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.
6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set and enhance the flavors.
7. Before serving, garnish with additional lime zest, if desired, for a pop of color and extra citrusy aroma.
8. Serve cold and enjoy this luscious, guilt-free Raw Vegan Key Lime Mousse!
