HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Chill the can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. This helps separate the cream from the liquid.

02

Open the chilled coconut milk can without shaking it. Scoop out the thick coconut cream from the top into a large mixing bowl, leaving the watery liquid behind. Discard the liquid or save for another use.

03

Add the sweetened condensed milk, passion fruit pulp, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the coconut cream. Mix well with a whisk or electric mixer on low speed until just combined.

04

Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the mixture for 3-5 minutes, or until it becomes light, fluffy, and holds soft peaks. Be careful not to overmix.

05

Divide the mousse evenly among 6 individual serving glasses or a large serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

06

Before serving, garnish with toasted shredded coconut.

Chef's Tips

For an extra tangy flavor, you can add an additional tablespoon of passion fruit pulp. Ensure your coconut milk is well-chilled for the best results in separating the cream. If you can't find fresh passion fruit, frozen pulp works perfectly.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If passion fruit is unavailable, you can substitute with mango puree for a different tropical flavor. For a less sweet mousse, reduce the granulated sugar by half or omit it entirely, as the condensed milk provides significant sweetness.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It does not freeze well due to its delicate texture.
