Categories     Cake     Fruit     Dessert     No-Cook     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Healthy     Vegan     Raw

Yield 4 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

The flesh of 2 ripe organic avocados
2 ripe organic bananas peeled
8 Tbsp or 2/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
8 Tbsp or 2/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
2 tsps lemon rind (about 2 lemons)
2 tsps lime rind (about 4 limes)
1/4 cup agave, or more to taste
pinch of Celtic sea salt

Steps:

  • Throw all of the ingredients in your blender, and puree until creamy. Chill, serve and devour! Yum Yum Yum!

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes. Fresh key limes have a more intense flavor than bottled or frozen lime juice, and they will give your mousse a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
  • Zest your limes before juicing them. The zest of a key lime contains a lot of flavor, so be sure to zest your limes before juicing them. You can use a microplane, a zester, or a sharp knife to zest your limes.
  • Use a high-quality white chocolate. The quality of the white chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your mousse. Look for a white chocolate that is made with real cocoa butter and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Whip the cream until it is stiff peaks. This will help to create a light and fluffy mousse. Be sure to whip the cream until it is stiff peaks, but not over-whipped, or it will become grainy.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture gently. This will help to prevent the mousse from becoming deflated. Use a spatula to fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture until it is just combined.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the mousse to set and develop its flavor. You can chill the mousse for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Key lime mousse is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for parties and gatherings. With its bright, citrusy flavor and creamy texture, key lime mousse is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
