Instructions
Step 1
Start by beating the egg with sugar until you achieve a fluffy consistency. This should take a few minutes, so be patient.
Next, in a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, almond flour, coconut flour, dried coconut milk, and baking powder. Make sure to mix them thoroughly.
Gently fold the dry mixture into the egg-sugar mixture using a spatula.
Spread the batter onto a baking mat, ensuring it's approximately 0.2 inches thick. Bake at 356°F (180°C) for about 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
Step 2
Chop the fried almonds finely, combining them with coconut flakes and waffle crumbs in a bowl.
Once mixed, incorporate the melted white chocolate into the mixture. Stir until everything is uniformly combined.
Roll out the mixture on a baking mat or parchment paper to a thickness of around 0.1 inches and freeze until firm.
Step 3
In a saucepan, combine milk, condensed milk, coconut puree, and coconut flakes. Heat until it reaches a simmer, then remove from the heat.
If you prefer a smoother mousse, you can strain this mixture to remove the coconut flakes, though leaving them will add a more intense coconut flavor.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolk with sugar and cornstarch until well combined.
Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Return this to the stove and cook on low heat until it reaches 179°F (82°C).
Add the gelatin mass once off the heat and mix thoroughly until dissolved.
Beat the cream until it reaches a soft peak, then allow the custard to cool to 104°F (40°C) before gently folding in the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
Step 4
Using a round cutter, cut out circles from the cooled coconut biscuit. Use the same cutter to press into the frozen crispy layer to create a perfect circle.
Insert the biscuit cutout into the center of the crispy layer without removing it from the cutter; this prevents breaking.
Fill the form with the coconut mousse until it's two-thirds full.
Add any desired filling in the center, then freeze the assembled pastries for a delightful treat!

These will help shape the biscuit and crunchy layer perfectly for assembly.
Variations
Looking to tweak the recipe for **gluten-free** or **vegan** options? 🌿✨ Here’s how!
For a gluten-free variation: Simply substitute the wheat flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Ensure all your other ingredients, particularly the baking powder and any chocolates, are also gluten-free certified!
For a vegan variation: Replace the eggs with flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water for each egg), and use coconut cream instead of whipped cream. Make sure the chocolate used is dairy-free, and you will have an equally luscious treat without the animal products!
Faq
- What should I do if my biscuit doesn’t rise properly?
Ensure your baking powder is fresh and well-integrated. Sometimes, overmixing can also deflate the batter, so gentle folding is key!
- How can I store these pastries?
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer freshness. Just thaw before serving!
- Can I add different flavors to the mousse?
Absolutely! Consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a citrus zest for a fun twist on flavor.
- How can I make the chocolate layer more flavorful?
Adding a pinch of sea salt or a dash of espresso powder to the melted chocolate can enhance its flavor significantly!
- What if I want to make a larger batch?
You can double the ingredients easily. Just make sure you have enough space in your oven for baking multiple trays at once!
- Can the coconut mousse be made ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the mousse a day in advance and store it in the fridge until you are ready to assemble your pastries.
