Boost The Benefits With Grass-Fed Gelatin

The perfect mousse will have an airy, whipped consistency with just a touch of firmness to give it a subtle bite. To do this, we add a bit of flavorless gelatin to slightly thicken the mousse without compromising the taste.

As a bonus, gelatin is full of superfood benefits. Gelatin is basically cooked collagen, which is essential for healthy nails, skin, and hair, and therefore reduces signs of aging. Gelatin is also rich in the amino acid glycine, which has anti-inflammatory properties. On top of that, gelatin can also help in the balancing of hormones and help them to function properly.

Ditch The Whipped Cream For Coconut Cream

Opting for coconut cream is the best dairy-free alternative to traditional whipping cream. It has a natural sweet taste and similar texture, without any of the lactose. We like using it in many of our sweet recipes as a way to boost healthy fats.

If you can’t find store-bought coconut cream, you can also chill two cans of full-fat coconut milk overnight in the fridge and scoop out the cream on top.

Helpful Tips For Getting Started:

Double the recipe. Prepare for a large crowd by making multiple batches ahead of time. You can keep the mousse in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days and spoon it into serving glasses when ready to enjoy.
Swap out the lemons for oranges. If you don’t have lemons on hand, try oranges instead. You can swap in equal amounts of the juice and zest.
Chill the beaters and mixing bowl. To ensure the best consistency for the mousse, make sure to chill the beaters and the bowl you’ll be mixing it in beforehand. By doing this, the mousse maintains a low temperature and stays firmer, especially if you’re working on it in the summer or during warmer days.
