Coconut Mousse with Mango and Blueberries

Coconut Mousse with Mango and Blueberries

Uploaded: July 06, 2005

Description

This is my current favorite dessert. Coconut Milk Mousse with juicy mango and blueberries....the taste cannot be believed. Made with low fat coconut milk, non-fat buttermilk and mango and blueberries...(also has pureed lychees in the mousse). Very tropical tasting and perfectly light after a dinner. food stylist: ME! (If anyone would like the recipe, mention it in the comment section with your email and I'll be happy to send it. It will arrive as an attached text document. I created the recipe after being inspired by a Coconut milk sorbet recipe and having sold my ice cream maker on Ebay. Which category does one put a still life like this in???

Is fruit...I could have it for breakfast? Right? I AM a grownup, after all. This is wonderful because it has done what it should....inspired, made to salivate, communicate etc...for the viewers. Me too. I'll bet Gourmet Magazine or Cooking Light would LOVE this receipe, as would I. ka8t45@yahoo.com #1560549

Beautiful image of a yummy treat Dolores! Were'nt you a dessert chef before you were a photographer? It seems I remember something like that :0) How about a dessert book with your recipes and gorgeous photos?? #1561104

Tammy, Jeff, Cindy, Carolyn, Paul, Don, Cathy, Marcie, Katherine, Janet, Beverley, Laura, Deb, Kerby, Murry, Donna, Heather, Dominique, Alan and Sanjay....my humble thanks for kindly taking time to post your encouraging and kind comments. I appreciate each and every single one! I love food photography and would love to make a career out of it. Murry..."yes", I am a former pastry chef. I used to do heavy buttery pastries with high fat cream but now do lighter, healthier desserts with organic grains and whole wheat flours and fruits. I have eliminated heart damaging fats (like butter)...replacing fats with fruit purees, non fat cream cheese and even tofu in some recipes. No one knows the difference! Thanks so much! #1561898

Kathleen Clemons July 06, 2005

I had the same thought as Murry when I looked at this one Dolores, you definitely should think about doing a dessert book! #1562109

Goshka G. July 06, 2005

I think they sshould have a category called Mouthwatering for this, Dolores!!;-) I would love a recipe, and I'm curious if it was shot with natural light only or if you had any other help. #1562375

Vicki Hunt July 06, 2005

You are multi-talented...a cook too! I should have known that when I saw your bread photo! We can all submit photos for your book! LOL LOVE THIS!!! #1562423

Darren K. Fisher July 06, 2005

WOW this should be in a magazine. You sure have sold it to me by just looking at the image. Awesome awesome job. I always put my still lifes in elements of design. WOW....Of course you better send me the recipe. I think you have my email....LOL.. #1562439

Beautiful work, Delores! Excellent presentation...indeed, mouthwatering!!! #1562527

Marsha S. Smith July 06, 2005

This is gorgeous, Dolores. I still think there should be a 'Still Life' category! So many folks on BP do such wonderful still life images and they are really hard to categorize. #1562601
