For the blueberry mousse:
200 g blueberry purée
150 g whipped cream
50 g granulated sugar
5 g powdered gelatin
25 ml cold water

For the coconut mousse:
200 g coconut milk
100 g white chocolate, chopped

Directions

Prepare the base by mixing the biscuit crumbs, melted butter, and desiccated coconut until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a cake ring or silicone mold. Chill while preparing the mousse.

For the blueberry mousse, bloom the gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Warm the blueberry purée with sugar until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, stir in the gelatin, and let it cool slightly. Fold in the whipped cream gently. Pour over the base and freeze until firm.

For the coconut mousse, bloom the gelatin in cold water. Warm the coconut milk, then pour it over the chopped white chocolate. Stir until smooth. Add the gelatin and vanilla, then cool slightly. Fold in the whipped cream and pour over the frozen blueberry layer. Freeze until completely solid.

For the glaze, bloom the gelatin in cold water. Warm the blueberry purée with sugar, stir in the gelatin, then cool until fluid but not hot. Pour over the frozen entremet and decorate with fresh blueberries.

Can I make this entremet ahead of time?

Yes, it is perfect for making ahead because it needs freezing before glazing.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Do I need a silicone mold?

A silicone mold works best, but a cake ring lined with acetate also works.

Can I replace gelatin?

Why does the cake need to be frozen?

Freezing helps the layers set firmly and makes glazing easier.
