How to Make Coconut Mousse

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  2. In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 teaspoons of unflavored gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes. Then, microwave for 15 seconds, or until completely dissolved. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Gently stir the cooled gelatin mixture into the combined coconut milk and condensed milk mixture. Then, using a spatula, carefully fold the mixture into the whipped egg whites until just combined. Be gentle to avoid deflating the egg whites.
  5. Divide the mousse into individual serving bowls or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  6. Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings (about 1 ounce) and fresh cherries (about 6 halves).
