COCONUT and LIME CREAM in 5 minutes, an easy and quick dessert, ready in a few minutes, the perfect idea to serve after lunch or dinner, fragrant and exotic.
I love coconut and lime. That exotic, fresh, fragrant combination that makes you feel like you’re on vacation even if you’re in the kitchen with your hair tied back and the fan on. I had a lime to use, a small jar of coconut yogurt in the fridge, shredded coconut, and cream, and that’s how it was born: the coconut and lime mousse, an easy dessert, fresh and quick, perfect for summer!
It is prepared in 5 minutes, without cooking and with very few ingredients: whipping cream, coconut yogurt, lime juice and zest, a bit of powdered sugar… and you’re done! The result? A light, fluffy mousse with a citrusy and tropical flavor that conquers from the first spoonful.
This no-bake coconut and lime mousse is ideal to serve after lunch or dinner, as a fresh dessert even for unexpected guests. You can pour it into cups, decorate it with grated coconut, lime zest, or some crumbled cookies… and it’s suddenly summer on the table!

COCONUT and LIME CREAM in 5 minutes
Can I use Greek coconut yogurt for the coconut and lime cream?
Yes! In fact, Greek yogurt gives an even creamier and more velvety consistency.
Can I replace the cream?
You can use vegetable cream or even a lighter version, but it is best to use whipping cream.
How can I serve the mousse?
In single-serving cups, dessert bowls, or as a filling for cold cakes or no-bake tarts.
How long does it keep?
In the fridge, well covered, it keeps for 2 days. I do not recommend freezing it.
Is it suitable for those who are gluten intolerant?
Yes, the mousse is gluten-free if you use naturally gluten-free ingredients (like gluten-free cream and yogurt).
