Strawberry Coconut Chia Mousse
So pretty in pink, this dessert will get more and more solid as the chia soaks up literally all the liquid it can. (This is the best excuse to eat it straight from the bowl, just sayin’!) You can add more coconut cream to loosen the mixture as needed. Add strawberries, blueberries, raspberries galore as a garnish, and don’t forget to instagram the results #cookingwithtenina and then we can let social media drool their way to good health. (Oh, and I personally think of this as a breakfast. Dessert for breakfast? Hashtag that!)
We do have a few recipes using chia seed on here, notably the eggless egg.
But here are some to begin to explore:

The key to the success of this mousse is the lengthy blending time. It is beautiful and smooth if you blend it long enough.
