How did this week fly by so fast! I just can’t seem to keep up these days. It’s crazy to think the holidays are just around the corner and that I need to get moving on my babes Halloween costume stat! I hope everyone is enjoying the change of seasons wherever you happen to be.
Seeing the leaves change and breathing in the cool, clean, crisp air is one of my favorite parts of fall. I have a love-hate relationship with fall because I know it means winter is just around the corner. Normally I am dreading the colder weather but this year I am so excited about all the fun things to come having a 20-month-old in my life. I love seeing my little guy with wide eyes when he experiences things for the first time and it’s like reliving those moments myself due to all the memories that come rushing back.
But, before we say goodbye to summer and take a trip to the pumpkin patch I need to get in a few more summer recipes.
This Raspberry Lemon Mousse certainly feels a bit more summer than fall but it is delicious all the same. And, you can take this basic coconut milk mousse base and make your own creations. The flavor combos are endless. This recipe is perfect as a simple and easy dessert and makes a great breakfast too! I have a few fall mousse recipes coming soon! Start experimenting now if you can’t wait. Enjoy!
- 2 cans full fat room temp coconut milk
- 3 cups fresh or frozen and defrosted raspberries
- Juice from 2 lemons
- 2 Tbsp grass fed gelatin (more if you like a firmer mousse)
- Optional: 2 Tbsp grade B maple syrup
- If using frozen raspberries defrost until soft.
- Juice 2 lemons and set aside.
- In a blender add coconut milk, raspberries, lemon juice, gelatin, and optional maple syrup.
- Blend on high until fully mixed and bit airy.
- Pour in glasses or bowls.
- Set in the fridge for 2-3 hours or overnight.
Katie, this sounds so good! I’m going to bookmark it to try this weekend.
Thanks Anna! I hope you loved it!
I’m not vegan, so I don’t really care, but how does a recipe with grass-fed gelatin get tagged as vegan? Gelatin is made of animal bones, and the name “grass-fed” indicates that it is grass-fed animals, likely cows.
Thanks for pointing this out Brianna! There are a number of boxes to check for tags and sometimes you accidentally check the wrong one. This is exactly what happened. Appreciate you comment so I could correct my error.
