Print Recipe

A quick and easy dairy-free keto dessert featuring whipped coconut cream and fresh strawberry puree, delivering a silky, airy mousse that’s low-carb and indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 cup coconut cream (thick part from a well-chilled can of full-fat coconut milk)
  • 2–3 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener, adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds (soaked briefly in strawberry puree)
  • Optional: a drop of almond extract

Instructions

  1. Rinse and hull about 1 cup of fresh strawberries. Chop roughly and place in a blender or food processor. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener, then puree until smooth. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  2. Refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight. Scoop out the thick cream layer and place it in a mixing bowl chilled in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  3. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip the chilled coconut cream until it thickens and forms soft peaks, about 5-7 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt halfway through whipping.
  4. Gently fold the strawberry puree into the whipped coconut cream using a spatula, keeping the mixture airy. Fold in chia seeds if using.
  5. Taste the mousse and add more monk fruit sweetener if desired. Spoon into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  6. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh strawberry slices or mint leaves.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut milk for best whipping results. Chill the can and mixing bowl before whipping coconut cream. Avoid overwhipping to prevent grainy texture. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained. Adjust sweetness gradually to avoid monk fruit aftertaste. For a thicker mousse, whip coconut cream longer or add powdered erythritol. Mousse improves in flavor after chilling a few hours. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days; let sit at room temperature 10 minutes before serving if too firm.
