Easy Coconut Mousse Dessert Recipes

Steps:

• Combine cottage cheese and cream cheese in the bowl of a mini food-processor. Blend until smooth and no lumps remain, about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl and add in sweetener, cocoa powder, and coconut extract. Blend again until thoroughly combined.
• Refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes. Top with coconut before serving.

Steps:

• Pour boiling-hot water over dried coconut in a blender, then blend, scraping down sides as necessary, until combined well, about 30 seconds (use caution when blending hot liquids). Cool in blender until cool enough to handle.
• Line a large fine-mesh sieve with several layers of cheesecloth and set it over a bowl. Pour coconut mixture into lined sieve and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
• Whisk together sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup coconut milk in a large bowl.
• Pour remaining coconut milk into a 1-cup glass measure and add enough whole milk to bring total to 1 cup, then transfer to a small saucepan.
• Sprinkle gelatin over milk mixture in saucepan and let stand 1 minute to soften, then heat over moderate heat, whisking occasionally, until gelatin is dissolved (do not let boil). Whisk into sweetened condensed milk mixture in large bowl until combined. Quick-chill by putting bowl in a larger bowl of ice and cold water and stirring occasionally until mixture is the consistency of raw egg whites, about 10 minutes. Remove bowl from ice bath.
• Beat cream with an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks, then fold cream into coconut mixture gently but thoroughly.
• Using cleaned beaters, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold soft peaks, then fold into coconut mixture gently but thoroughly. Chill, covered, until set, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Pour 3/4 of the puree into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface to soften. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of puree and the sugar over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Stir the puree and gelatin into the warm puree and stir to dissolve the gelatin. If lumps remain, put the pan over low heat and stir just until the lumps dissolve. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream until it holds medium peaks. Fold one-third of it into the coconut mixture. Fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain. Pour the mousse into a bowl (or ramekins) and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• For the crust: In a food processor, mix the shredded coconut and pecan cookies. Slowly add the melted butter. Place the mixture into a 10-inch springform tin to form the crust.
• For the filling: In a mixer, soften the cream cheese and raw cane sugar until smooth. Slowly add the cream of coconut and rum. In a small bowl, mix the powdered gelatin and 1/4 cup water until firm and then microwave until it liquefies. Add the gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture. Add the heavy whipping cream until fully mixed. Pour into the prepared springform tin. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Fold coffee liqueur and coconut into whipped topping until well combined. Pour into 8x8 inch baking dish and freeze 4 hours, until firm.
