Time 6h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup water
1 15-ounce can sweetened cream of coconut
12 egg yolks
6 egg whites at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup dark Puerto Rican rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter for greasing pan
24 ladyfingers
Whipping cream

Steps:

  • Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup of water and reserve.
  • Using a whisk, mix coconut cream with yolks. Place in a heavy saucepan over low heat and cook, stirring, until mixture thickens.
  • Add gelatin mixture and stir until gelatin dissolves. Set aside to cool.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff, slowly adding 1/2 cup sugar while beating. Fold into coconut cream until well mixed.
  • Boil remaining 1/2 cup sugar with the 1/2 cup water until thick and syrupy - 220 degrees on a candy thermometer. Cool and add rum and vanilla.
  • Butter a charlotte mold. Soak ladyfingers thoroughly, one by one, in the sugar syrup and line the sides of the mold. Pour in a third of the coconut cream. Moisten more ladyfingers and layer over the cream. Repeat twice, ending with ladyfingers.
  • Refrigerate at least 6 hours.
  • Whip the cream just before serving, and unmold the mousse on a round platter. Garnish with candied violets and mint leaves, if desired. Serve with the whipped cream.

I found the instructions for the rum syrup to be a bit confusing. I ended up making the syrup too thick.

The coconut mousse was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the rum syrup helped to balance it out.
