Tips

When creating this delectable dessert, there are several ingredient substitutions you can make to accommodate dietary restrictions or personal preferences. For a vegan version, you can replace the coconut mousse with a whipped aquafaba mousse (made from the liquid of canned chickpeas) and use agar agar or a vegan gelatin substitute to thicken the mango coulis. To make the dessert gluten-free, ensure that the toasted coconut flakes are certified gluten-free and use a gluten-free binder like arrowroot powder or cornstarch in the mango coulis. Additionally, you can experiment with different tropical fruits like pineapple or passionfruit to change up the flavor profile.
