Coconut mousse -Antonio Bachour

Hi @ramonika_i

Yes, you can make coconut, raspberry, and strawberry purées at home. Here’s how to prepare each one:

Coconut Purée

Coconut purée is made from fresh coconut meat.

Ingredients:

– 1 fresh coconut (or more, depending on the quantity you want to make)

– Water (optional)

Steps:

1. Open the coconut:Break open the coconut and extract the meat. If you have coconut water, you can save it for other uses.

2. Cut the meat: Cut the coconut meat into small pieces to make it easier to blend.

3. Blend: Place the coconut meat in a blender or food processor. You can add a little water to help with blending, but try to use as little as possible to achieve a thick purée.

4. Process: Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If necessary, stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure all the coconut is well processed.

5. Strain (optional):If you prefer a smoother purée, you can strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any remaining fibrous bits.

6. Store: Store the purée in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Raspberry and Strawberry Purée

The process for making raspberry and strawberry purées is very similar.

Ingredients:

– 250 g fresh raspberries or strawberries (or your desired quantity)

– Sugar (optional, to taste)

– Lemon juice (optional, a few drops to enhance the flavor)

Steps:

1. Wash the fruit: Thoroughly wash the raspberries or strawberries. If using strawberries, remove the stems.

2. Cut (if necessary): If using strawberries, cut them into small pieces to make blending easier.

3. Blend: Place the raspberries or strawberries in a blender or food processor. You can add sugar and a little lemon juice if desired.

4. Process:Blend until you have a smooth mixture. As with the coconut purée, you may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the container as needed.

5. Strain (optional): If you prefer a finer purée without seeds, strain it through a fine mesh sieve. Then cook over medium heat until some of the liquid from the fruit evaporates, or until you can see the bottom of the pot. Let it cool and store.

6. Store: Store the purée in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days.

These purées can be used in a variety of recipes, such as desserts, sauces, or even for making homemade ice cream.

We hope this information is helpful.

Best regards.

Thank you, I wasn’t sure about the process if it’s enough just to blend them fresh or should be cooked/boiled first.

I’ve used coconut cream, if available at a grocery store in your area.
