COCONUT MOUSSE



Coconut Mousse image

Coconut is pure and distinct in this mousse, which itself is light and creamy. You must use fresh coconut puree to achieve this flavor-anything else imparts an artificial or suntan-lotion taste. We buy our puree from Perfect Purees of Napa, which is the only place we have been able to source a product that has the right flavor and texture. Once the mousse is set, you cannot re-use it. So, when making the Coconut Mousse Cake, it is important to have your other components ready for assembly before you start the mousse procedure.

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 cup (13 ounces) coconut puree
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder
1/4 cup (2 ounces) sugar
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Pour 3/4 of the puree into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface to soften. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of puree and the sugar over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Stir the puree and gelatin into the warm puree and stir to dissolve the gelatin. If lumps remain, put the pan over low heat and stir just until the lumps dissolve. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl. Let the mixture cool to room temperature. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream until it holds medium peaks. Fold one-third of it into the coconut mixture. Fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain. Pour the mousse into a bowl (or ramekins) and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

1 pound lump crabmeat
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons spicy mustard
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon minced red jalapeno pepper
1 teaspoon minced green jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 medium lemon, juiced
1/2 medium orange, juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salad, for serving, recipe follows
Avocado Mousse, recipe follows
2 small carrots, peeled and julienned
About 4 cups mixed greens, washed and dried
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 medium lemon, juiced
Pinch salt
Pinch pepper
Citrus fruit wedges (oranges, blood oranges, grapefruits, and/or lemons), for garnish, optional
1 large avocado
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
1/2 medium orange, juiced
1/2 medium lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Pick through crabmeat to make sure it has no shells. Stir in mayonnaise and mustard. Add 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, red and green jalapenos, thyme, chives, salt, and pepper and mix in thoroughly. Add the lemon juice and orange juice and stir to combine.
  • Line a (1/2-cup) measuring cup with plastic wrap and pack cup with crab mixture. Pull plastic wrap so that molded crab mixture can be easily removed and place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Repeat until all of the mixture has been molded into cakes. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of bread crumbs on a plate and mix with olive oil. Sprinkle a little of this mixture on top of each crab cake. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve over the salad and top with a dollop of avocado mousse.
  • Place julienned carrots in a bowl of cold water (which will cause them to curl). Meanwhile, toss greens with sesame oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Fill the bottom of a cocktail glass with a handful of the salad and top it with a few of the carrot strips. Place 1 crab cake on top of salad. Place citrus fruit wedges around crab cake, if desired. Repeat for remaining servings.
  • Scrape the flesh of the avocado into a medium mixing bowl, discarding the skin and pit. Mash with a fork until moderately lumpy. Add cream, orange juice, and lemon juice and stir gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and stir until well mixed. Place a dollop of the mouse on top of each crab cake.
