It’s the first time I try one of your recipe, I just made this mango mousse it is delicious! It’s almost magic to do this without dairy, so thank you a thousand times for your recipes! I have a small question, why do you add the coconut oil in most of the preparations (mousse)? is it because it “solidifies” a little when it cools? or is it just for the taste?
Have a nice day,

Hello Coco!
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. It makes me really happy you tried and enjoyed this fresh mango cake! Coconut oil helps raw cakes to get a nice texture and consistency once is chilled. Just make sure you use a good quality organic and un-refined brand.
Have a beautiful day!
