Super Creamy Papaya Mousse
I can’t believe I only needed 3 ingredients to make such an awesome, mouth-watering, out of this world dessert. It’s creamy, sweet, fruity, and it is also healthy. A super healthy mousse recipe that is packed with health benefits and everyone will absolutely enjoy.
Do you like papaya? Papaya is one of my favorite fruits. It is also so good for your health. Papaya contains papain, an enzyme that helps improve digestion. This amazing fruit is also rich in antioxidant nutrients, minerals and fiber. Eating papaya helps promote the health of the cardiovascular system and also provides protection against colon cancer.
Ok. So let’s go back to my creamy coconut milk papaya mousse recipe. Last week I thought of making a papaya dessert and had a can of coconut milk in the fridge. You know that when you refrigerate coconut milk, the coconut fat turns into a cream and separates out from the liquid. I thought it could really be perfect for thickness and consistency. Yes, the cream gave this mousse the perfect texture and the flavor combination with coconut was just amazing.
Only 3 ingredients for an incredible papaya mousse made with coconut milk
For this creamy coconut milk papaya mousse recipe you need to use a can of full-fat coconut milk. The can must be full-fat because you will be blending the solid cream. Make sure it is also unsweetened and preferably organic. Just refrigerate it the night before and it will be ready. When you open the can, take out the cream, leaving the watery liquid behind.
This recipe will give you about 3-4 small servings. If you are planing to serve more people, just double the recipe.I enjoyed this dessert so so so much. I am already planing on making it again this week. Seriously, it is out of this world! You can also try other fruits or even fruit combinations. Berries, mango, passion fruit, or peaches.

Description
Only 3 healthy ingredients and you have a super refreshing , creamy, and delicious treat.
Ingredients
- 1 can unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups fresh papaya cut in pieces
- 2 tablespoons honey *you can substitute for maple syrup or stevia
Instructions
- Refrigerate the can of coconut milk the night before so the fat in the milk turns to cream and separates from the liquid.

- Blend the papaya with honey (using a small blender or food processor), and then add it to the bowl of coconut cream. Mix well.
- Place the mousse in a container or small bowls.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.
- You can decorate with some papaya cut in little pieces on top.
- Keep refrigerated .
Notes
You can try other fruits for different flavors. I am thinking strawberries, mango, peaches, blueberries, or bananas could work really well.
