No-Bake Raspberry Mousse Cups : Easy Dessert

Light, fruity, and elegantly layered, these No-Bake Raspberry Mousse Cups are a perfect treat for anyone looking to impress without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

For the crust layer:

  • ½ cup Edward & Sons Organic Unsweetened Shredded Coconut (40g)
  • ½ cup pitted dates, chopped (100g)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted (15ml)

For the raspberry mousse:

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (125g)
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) Native Forest Organic Classic Coconut Milk, chilled overnight
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)

Optional garnish:

  • Fresh raspberries
  • Coconut flakes
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the crust

In a food processor, combine the shredded coconut, chopped dates, and melted coconut oil. Blend until the mixture holds together when pinched. Divide evenly among your dessert cups and press down gently to form a firm base layer.

Step 2: Whip the coconut cream

Open the chilled can of coconut milk and scoop out the solidified cream into a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream for 3 to 4 minutes until it becomes fluffy and soft peaks form.

Step 3: Blend the raspberries

In a blender, puree the fresh raspberries until smooth. For a seedless mousse, you can strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve.

Step 4: Make the mousse

Gently fold the raspberry puree, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the whipped coconut cream using a spatula. Take your time and use light movements to preserve the mousse’s airy texture.

Step 5: Assemble the cups

Spoon or pipe the raspberry mousse over the prepared crusts in each cup. Smooth the tops and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to allow the mousse to set.

Step 6: Garnish and serve

Top each mousse cup with fresh raspberries, coconut flakes, or mint just before serving for a fresh, colorful finish.

Notes

  • hill the coconut milk overnight. This allows the cream to separate and makes whipping possible. Don’t skip this step.
  • Don’t overmix. Overworking the mousse mixture can deflate the airiness and make the texture too dense.
  • Use sweet, ripe berries. The natural sugars in ripe raspberries mean you won’t need to add much extra sweetness.
