INGREDIENT NOTES:
STRAWBERRIES:
- We use them as the main ingredient to give a fruity taste and natural sweetness in the recipe. They give moisture and a beautiful pink color to the dessert. You may use frozen strawberries as per your preference.
MAPLE SYRUP:
- It gives a sweet taste without using regular refined sugar. Maple syrup also provides a mild caramel-like taste to the recipe. You may use agave syrup as a replacement for better results.
LEMON JUICE:
- This juice maintains the sweetness of the mousse. It makes the strawberry taste bright and fresh. You may use lime juice as another choice.
AGAR-AGAR POWDER:
- It gives a soft and warm taste that works well with strawberries and coconut. Utilize vanilla bean paste as another idea.
FULL-FAT COCONUT MILK:
- We use it to include creamy texture in the mousse. It makes the dessert light and gives a smooth texture. You may use chilled coconut cream as a substitute.
