Happy Friday ๐Ÿ™‚ I am posting two recipes for you today! I couldn’t keep these from you. You know tropical flavors are my favorites and it’s because they are so perfect over the summer. With the humid days and blistering heat upon us, I am turning on the oven less these days and enjoying some no-bake recipes. This mango kiwi mousse is perfect for summer entertaining and it is so easy to whip up!

These mousse cups are bursting with lots of summer flavors starting with a light and airy mango coconut mousse which is topped with fresh slices of kiwi, toasted coconut and mango. Imagine the tropics in a jar!! Amazing ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m sharing the recipe over at my friend’s Meriem’s blog, Culinary Couture , today. She is one of my favorites as she LOVES macarons and of course this girl is a fan. She is observing Ramadan and a few of us are stepping in to keep her blog going while she observes this holy month. Be sure to stop by for the recipe and check out her numerous mouth-watering recipes.
