Cherry and Goats Milk Coconut Mousse.
The cherries are what make this sweet treat perfect for summer. They are macerated bourbon cherries and they are so simple, they may just be the best thing ever. You could eat them with a spoon, serve them over cheese, ice cream, yogurt and so much more. Totally in love.

Bourbon Cherries
- 2 cups fresh cherries pitted + halved
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 tablespoon bourbon optional
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or granulated sugar
Goats Milk Mousse
- 4 ounces goat cheese cold
- 1/2 cup goats milk cold
- 1 ounce can full fat coconut milk cold (put in the fridge overnight), 14
- 1 vanilla bean seeded
- 1-2 tablespoon cherry or strawberry jam
- 5-6 tablespoon pure maple syrup for serving
- toasted coconut and chopped chocolate for serving
In a bowl, combine the cherries, vanilla, bourbon and coconut sugar. Toss well and let the cherries sit at room temp for at least 15 minutes to allow them release their juice
Meanwhile, add the goat cheese and goats milk to a large mixing bowl. Flip the can of COLD coconut milk upside down and open it, drain the coconut water from the can (reserve for drinking or another use). Add the coconut cream (the white sold left in the can) to the bowl along with the vanilla bean seeds. Using and electric mixer, whip the mixture until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Gently stir in the cherry/strawberry jam to create a swirl. Cover the bowl and place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Grab the cherrie bourbon mixture and divide among 5-6 glasses. Now grab the mousse and evenly spoon it over the cherries. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until ready to serve.
Before serving, top each glass with coconut, chocolate and a cherry. Can also drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
