HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and fresh lime juice. Whisk until well combined and slightly thickened.

02

Gently fold in the 1/4 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut into the lime mixture.

03

In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.

04

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the lime and coconut mixture in two additions, until just combined and no streaks remain. Do not overmix.

05

Divide the mousse evenly into 6 small serving glasses or ramekins.

06

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.

07

Before serving, garnish each mousse with additional shredded coconut and a sprinkle of fresh lime zest.

Chef's Tips

For an extra tropical flavor, you can toast the shredded coconut lightly in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown before adding it to the mousse.

Easy Substitutions

If fresh limes are unavailable, bottled lime juice can be used, though fresh is preferred for best flavor. You can also substitute lemon juice for a lemon-coconut mousse.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It does not freeze well due to the dairy content.
