Creamy matcha coconut mousse

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 250 g cashew nuts
  
  

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
  

• 1 tbsp high-quality matcha powder
  
  

• 1 tbsp honey
  
  

• 250 ml coconut milk
  
  

• Pinch of salt
  
  

To Serve:

• Coconut flakes
  
  

• Edible flowers
  
  

Method

1. Soak the nuts: Place the cashew nuts in water and let them soak overnight in the fridge, or for at least 2–3 hours.
   
   

2. Blend the base: Drain the nuts and transfer them to a blender. Add the vanilla extract and matcha powder, then blend until smooth and creamy.
   
   

3. Sweeten: Add the honey and blend for another minute to combine.
   
   

4. Add the coconut milk: Pour in the coconut milk gradually while blending, until the mixture becomes silky and uniform.
   
   

5. Season and adjust: Scrape down the sides of the blender, add a pinch of salt, and blend once more. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
   
   

6. Serve: Divide the mousse evenly into four small bowls, jars, or cups.
   
   

7. Set: Chill in the fridge for at least an hour, or freeze for about 30 minutes for a firmer texture. The mousse can also be enjoyed right away if preferred.
   
   

Garnish: Finish with a sprinkle of coconut flakes and decorate with fresh edible flowers.
