🕒 Total Time: 15 minutes + 1 hour refrigeration
🍽️ Servings: 3 to 4 portions
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Purpose |
| Intikisa Lucuma Powder | 3 tbsp | Adds flavor, color, and antioxidants |
| Thick coconut milk (refrigerated) | 1 cup | Provides creaminess and structure |
| Ripe banana | 1 unit | Natural sweetener and texture base |
| Honey or agave syrup (optional) | 1 tsp | Enhances sweetness naturally |
| Natural vanilla extract | ½ tsp | Boosts flavor depth |
| Chia or flax seeds (optional) | 1 tsp | Adds fiber and helps thicken |

Step-by-Step Preparation
- Prepare the creamy base
Place the chopped banana, chilled coconut milk, Lucuma Powder, vanilla, and lemon juice in a blender.
Blend on medium speed for 40–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
💡 Tip: For an extra fluffy mousse, lightly whip the coconut milk before blending.
- Sweeten and adjust texture
Taste the mixture and add honey or agave syrup if desired.
For a thicker consistency, add chia seeds and blend briefly.
Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes so the lucuma fiber and chia naturally thicken it.
- Chill and set
Pour the mousse into small cups or glasses, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
This step allows the mousse to develop its silky, rich texture.
✨ Intikisa Tip: For a firmer texture (perfect for tarts or layered desserts), refrigerate overnight.
- Decorate and serve
When serving, add your favorite toppings:
- Intikisa cacao nibs for crunch and antioxidants
- Fresh berries or mango for color and tangy contrast
- Shredded coconut or sliced almonds for a tropical finish
Serve chilled and enjoy the natural sweetness — a guilt-free pleasure that nourishes your body with authentic Peruvian ingredients. 🇵🇪
