Instructions

  1. Soften the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes.
  2. Peel the papaya, remove the seeds and blend the flesh with the lime juice and zest.
  3. Melt the drained gelatin in a small saucepan over very low heat, then stir it into the papaya purée.
  4. Whip the cold cream with the icing sugar until you have a soft chantilly.
  5. Gently fold the papaya purée into the chantilly in two batches, using a spatula.
  6. Divide the mousse among serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  7. Sprinkle with toasted coconut just before serving.

Variations and tips

Papaya mousse without gelatin. Replace the gelatin with 2 tablespoons of cane syrup and freeze for 6 hours, for a light, airy sorbet.
