Lemon Coconut Mousse (Vegan, Gluten-free, Lactose-free, No Refined Sugar)

One thing that I really love about New Zealand is how people share things. And it seems like everyone has a lemon tree but me ;) That isn’t a problem though, because I get given free lemons from friends on a regular basis.

Servings 4 portions

Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • zest and juice of 1 small spray-free lemon:
  • 1/4 cup juice
  • 1 tablespoon zest or more, if you prefer more zing
  • 310 ml water
  • 95 g dates pitted and diced
  • 225 g creamed coconut (coconut butter)
  • 1/3 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 pinch salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Melt the coconut butter in a cup that sits in a warm water bath.
  • Transfer all ingredients into the blender and blend until a smooth. It might pay to let the dates soak in the water for a while, this way it will be easier for the blender.
  • Transfer to dessert glasses and let firm up in the fridge. This should take around 4 hours, depending on how cold your fridge is.

Notes

Enjoy! :)
