Ingredients
2 cups fresh pineapple, diced 1 can (14 oz) full fat coconut milk, chilled overnight 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, combine the diced pineapple and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and set aside. Open the chilled can of coconut milk and carefully scoop out the solid white cream into a separate bowl. Reserve the liquid for another use. Whip the coconut cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold in the pineapple mixture. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt, and stir gently to combine. Divide the mousse into four individual serving dishes or glass cups. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or until set.
