Do you have any tips for making this keto peanut butter coconut mousse?
This mousse comes together in just 10 minutes and is easy to make, but there are a few things you’ll want to know about making it. It’s important to prep your canned coconut cream by refrigerating it overnight or for 24 hours before using. After chilling, you’ll want to open your can and carefully spoon out the thickened cream at the top of the can. There will then be liquid at the bottom which you don’t want to use for this recipe. I save mine to use in other dishes. You’ll want to chill the bowl and beaters you’ll be using to whip your coconut cream in the freezer for about 15 minutes before using. It’s also good to know coconut cream, depending on which brand you use, sets up differently and whips differently. I have even found with using the same brand, some cans just don’t whip up as smoothly.
How do I make keto whipped cream?
After making my own keto whipped cream, I can’t believe I ever bought anything else! It is incredibly quick and easy to make, and it is delicious! First, you’ll want to chill your bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 15 minutes before using. Also, don’t take your heavy whipping cream out of the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it. You want everything as cold as possible. When your bowl and beaters are chilled, you’ll simply add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons of keto powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the bowl. Then simply beat the mixture until stiff peaks form. You can easily double this recipe if you’d like. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can substitute different extract flavors in place of the vanilla.
Is it difficult to make toasted coconut to use as a topping for this keto peanut butter coconut mousse?
Making your own keto toasted coconut is quick and easy, and the results are well worth it. You will want to make sure you’re using unsweetened coconut flakes. Pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees. I always line my baking pan with parchment paper when I toast coconut and use a pan large enough so the coconut can be single layer in the pan. If I’m making ½ cup of toasted coconut, I use an 8×8 inch baking pan. When making 1 cup, I use a 13×9 inch pan. You’ll want to bake your coconut for 3 minutes. Then stir the coconut and bake for 3 more minutes. If the coconut isn’t browned enough, bake a little longer. You’ll want to keep a close eye on your coconut because it can burn easily.
