If you’re wanting something sweet and fresh (don’t we all!) on a balmy summers eve, you simply can’t go past a nice light berry mousse!

 

I’ve added raw coconut butter (the blended up flesh), you don’t have to, but it does make it really nice and creamy. You can also add the flesh of one coconut, or not, it's up to you! If you like it a little tangier, use fresh berries rather than frozen, or make layers with a fruit coulis (just fruit,coconut nectar and a squeeze of lemon)

I gave up dairy ice cream years ago, the minute I ate it, I would feel a coating in my throat and a kind of itchy feeling. My instincts told me this was not good! Coconut Ice-cream doesn’t pretend to be like the dairy deal, in fact, I think it’s better. It’s higher in fat but all good fats your body can use. I find it very satisfying so you don’t need to eat as much as you might of a dairy based one.
