Recipe Directions
1. Open up the young coconut and save the water.
2. Carve out the meat, clean it off, and then dump it into the blender.
3. Add the trimmed strawberries, some sweetener (mine weren’t very sweet, so I had to use quite a bit of sweetener), and coconut water to get it mixing well (I have a wimpy blender). Blend until smooth.
4. Then add the melted coconut oil. You can also add some vanilla.
5. For the crust, which should be made first, maybe a couple hours in advance, soak the almonds overnight, dry them in the sun for a couple hours, and then grind into a meal. Pour in some sweetener (I used maple syrup) until a little sticky.
6. Add in the salt and psyllium. Press into a bowl or plate to form the crust.
7. Let the crust dry in the sun for a few hours to help it set.
8. Pour in the mousse and chill a few hours in the fridge.
Carmentina's Thoughts
By Carmentina An easy mousse you can enjoy plain, or make it into a pie as I did.
My hubby loved this.

This is delicious and I have made it twice. However, mine didn't set up as well as yours. Maybe I had too much moisture??

This does look absolutely yummy; and easy to make too! Do you think you can grind the almonds and make the crust while they're wet so-as to do the sun dehydrating process just once instead of twice? Also I'm thinking about throwing a banana into the mix for a bit more flavor... think it will be a positive or negative?

A box of strawberries is equivalent to what? Pint, quart, ?????

I like the idea of drying the crust in the sun before pouring in the filling. I made a fruit pie last week and the crust was disgusting - all soggy. I think I added too much moisture also.

Thanks. I was wondering because I don't have a psyllium. We have a lot of young coconuts. :)

I think the pie crust will hold without the psyllium. You can make crusts in many ways, but I didn't have any dates, so I did without.

When I first saw the picture I thought, is this really raw?? :D Thanks!! I never thought of making a mousse for pie. Is there anything I can substitute for psyllium?

THANK YOU!!! I tried to make a strawberry pie once but used nuts and not enough strawberries for the filling (it wasn't what I was hoping for :P ) - this sounds DELICIOUS!
