Ingredients

• 400 ml Coconut cream
• 100 g Coconut sugar
• 60 ml Maple syrup
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Agar-agar powder
• 2 tbsp Water
• 0.25 tsp Salt

Directions

Step 1

Place the can of coconut cream in the fridge overnight to allow the cream to separate from the water. Open the chilled can and scoop out only the thick cream into a mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the coconut sugar and maple syrup over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts bubbling, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and carefully add the coconut cream to the saucepan. Whisk continually as you integrate the cream into the sugar mixture.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and salt into the caramel mixture and continue to stir until everything is well combined.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, dissolve the agar-agar powder in 2 tablespoons of water. Stir well until it is smooth.

Step 6

Add the agar-agar mixture to the saucepan with the caramel and coconut cream. Stir continuously over low heat for another 2-3 minutes until the agar-agar is fully activated and the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the top.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth to ensure the mousse is airy and silky.

Step 9

Divide the mixture evenly among four dessert glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 10

Serve the dairy-free caramel mousse chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of coconut flakes or a drizzle of additional maple syrup if desired.
