Ingredients
- 1 cup canned coconut cream (chilled overnight)
- 2 tablespoons raw honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites (from pasture-raised eggs)
- 1 pinch pinch of sea salt
Directions
Step 1
1. Chill a mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to ensure the coconut cream whips properly.
Step 2
2. Open the can of chilled coconut cream and scoop out the solid cream from the top (discard the liquid or save for smoothies).
Step 3
3. In the cold mixing bowl, beat the coconut cream with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until it becomes fluffy and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
4. Add the raw honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract to the whipped coconut cream. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
Step 5
5. In a separate clean bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of sea salt. Using clean beaters, whip the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 6
6. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the sweetened coconut cream mixture, being careful not to deflate the airiness of the egg whites.
Step 7
7. Transfer the mousse into serving dishes or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow it to set.
Step 8
8. Serve chilled and enjoy your Paleo Vanilla Mousse! Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cacao nibs.
