A light and refreshing dessert that balances spice with cool, citrusy sweetness.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet in a thin, even layer.
Bake for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
In a food processor or blender, combine the avocado, lime juice, lime zest, honey, coconut milk cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
Taste and adjust sweetness (add more honey) or tartness (add more lime juice) as desired.
Divide the mousse evenly among four serving glasses or bowls.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and firm up.
Before serving, sprinkle each mousse with the toasted coconut.

Make sure your avocados are perfectly ripe for the best texture and flavor.
For a richer flavor, use chilled, full-fat coconut milk. Skimming the thick cream from the top of the can provides the best results.
To toast the coconut, watch it closely to prevent burning as it can go from golden brown to burnt very quickly.
This mousse can be made a day ahead of time. Store covered in the refrigerator.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mousse.
