- Use an electric mixer or a hand whisk to whip the coconut cream until it becomes fluffy and light, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the sugar while continuing to whip the coconut cream. Make sure the sugar is well incorporated.
- Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and a dash of salt to the mixture. Whip for another minute until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness or lemon flavor if needed. You may add a bit more sugar or lemon zest according to your preference.
- Transfer the mousse into serving bowls or ramekins.
- Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to let the mousse set firm.
- Optionally, garnish with some extra lemon zest, shredded coconut, or fresh berries before serving.
