Easy Coconut Mousse Dessert Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Reserve 2 tablespoon toasted coconut. Combine remaining coconut and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press onto bottom and 1-inch up sides of ungreased 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile combine pudding mix and milk in a large bowl. Prepare according to package directions.
• 3. Gently stir whipped cream and sugar into the pudding. Pour into the coconut crust. Sprinkle top with remaining coconut. Refrigerate until it's set for at least 4 hours.

Steps:

• Pour 3/4 of the puree into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface to soften. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of puree and the sugar over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Stir the puree and gelatin into the warm puree and stir to dissolve the gelatin. If lumps remain, put the pan over low heat and stir just until the lumps dissolve. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream until it holds medium peaks. Fold one-third of it into the coconut mixture. Fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain. Pour the mousse into a bowl (or ramekins) and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• 1. For the crust: Reserve 2 tablespoons toasted coconut. Combine remaining coconut and melted butter in medium bowl. Press onto bottom and 1 inch sides of ungreased 9 inch springform pan. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
