Raspberry Coconut Mousse Cake

I am glad to share with you this amazing recipe for Raspberry Coconut Mousse Cake, an elegant dessert bursting with summer flavor. Raspberries and coconut are always making such a good pair and they definitely shine in this stunning cake. 

The cake consists of a coconut sponge cake at the bottom, with coconut, white chocolate and almonds crunch, a coconut mousse with fresh raspberries inserted and raspberry jelly on top. The combination of flavors and textures in this cake is absolutely delightful and makes such a refreshing dessert for summer. 

How to prepare the mousse cake.

I have tried to keep each step as easy and quick as possible. For the coconut sponge cake, you simply have to mix eggs with sugar until thick and foamy. No need to separate the eggs this time. Gently incorporate coconut flakes and flour and the batter is ready to go into the oven.

For the crunch layer, you will first have to make an almond paste from toasted raw almonds. But you can surely use different nuts if that is what you have on hand. Mix the almond paste with some melted white chocolate, coconut flakes and pailleté feuilletine and gently spread over the coconut sponge cake. 

For the coconut mousse, I like to use both coconut cream and milk. Mix the coconut mixture with sugar and salt and heat over low heat just until sugar dissolves. Add bloomed gelatin and mix with whipped cream. 

Assemble the cake.

To assemble the cake, pour half of the coconut mousse over the cake and crunch, add fresh raspberries and cover with the remaining coconut mousse. Refrigerate to set slightly before topping the cake with raspberry jelly. Let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to set completely and decorate as desired.
