Coconut mousse cake

I believe in selective indulgence. After enjoying your healthy lunch or dinner, you can end with a lighter dessert: coconut mousse cake. It has an airy, ethereal texture, so it's not nearly as heavy as typical treats.

For 8 - 10 individuals

This Coconut Mousse Cake is light, ethereal with the delicate flavor of coconut.

This is one of my favorite cakes from my book. It reminds me of ballerina in a giant white tutu — completely over the top.When I was developing the recipe, the idea was to create a big white confection that wasn’t overly sweet and capitalized on the flavor and texture of freshly shaved coconut. Using the pre-shredded stuff in the plastic bag gives an inferior result. If packaged coconut is your only choice, be sure to avoid the sweetened variety.

You can almost imagine yourself at the beach, with a Pina Colada in your hand, feeling the sand under your feet and hearing the sound of the waves crashing.
