Notes

  • 📝 Notes
    Don’t use regular juice – It’s usually diluted. Go for concentrate or fresh/frozen pulp for best results.
  • Seeds are edible! Blend them in, strain them out, or scoop a few out—it’s up to you.
  • Lemon is key – It brightens the flavor and helps the mousse firm up. Lime works too!
  • Make ahead – This dessert can be made a day in advance. Store covered in the fridge.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy within 2–3 days for best texture and flavor.
