Ingredients

• 200 grams canned tuna, drained
• 100 milliliters coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin powder over the water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Once the gelatin has bloomed, heat it gently in a microwave or over a double boiler until fully dissolved. Do not boil as this may affect the setting properties.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine the drained tuna, coconut cream, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Blend until smooth.

Step 4

Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and fresh dill to the tuna mixture in the food processor. Blend until fully incorporated.

Step 5

While the food processor is running, slowly pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into the tuna mixture. Continue blending until fully smooth and combined.

Step 6

Spoon the mixture into a serving dish or individual ramekins.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set.

Step 8

Serve chilled, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired, with your choice of dairy-free crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks.
