Banana Mousse Coco Lime Brick Pastry is a creative dessert inspired by tropical cuisine, combining fresh ingredients with bold flavors. It typically features layers of creamy banana mousse, a coconut-infused pastry shell, and a zesty lime twist, creating a harmonious balance of sweetness and tartness. Bananas provide natural sweetness and are rich in potassium and vitamin B6. Coconut adds healthy fats, fiber, and manganese, while lime juice offers vitamin C. When prepared with whole, minimally processed ingredients, this dessert can be both indulgent and nutrient-rich, making it a lighter choice compared to conventional pastries high in refined sugars and fats.
Store the dessert in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For optimal freshness, assemble it shortly before serving.
Banana Mousse Coco Lime Brick Pastry typically contains around 200-300 calories per serving, depending on the recipe and portion size. It offers moderate carbohydrates due to the bananas and sugar, with around 25-40g of carbs per serving. Protein is generally low, around 3-5g per serving, and fat content can vary depending on the use of cream or coconut milk, averaging 6-12g of fat per serving.
This dish can be made vegetarian-friendly as most traditional recipes do not include meat or animal-based gelatin. To make it vegan, substitute dairy cream with a plant-based alternative like coconut cream and ensure there are no animal-derived ingredients in the pastry layers, such as butter or eggs.
Bananas in this dessert provide potassium and vitamin B6, while lime adds vitamin C, both of which can support general health. However, the pastry and sugar content can make it high in refined carbohydrates and added sugars, which should be consumed in moderation. Be mindful if you have blood sugar concerns or are on a low-sugar diet.
A standard serving size is approximately 100-150 grams or one small slice, which typically equals one portion. This amount provides a satisfying dessert experience without excessive calorie or sugar intake, especially when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
Compared to traditional mousse-based desserts, this pastry is lighter if made with coconut cream instead of heavy cream. It is also potentially more nutrient-dense due to the bananas and lime. However, it may be higher in carbohydrates and sugars than desserts like a plain chocolate mousse, so it’s less suitable for low-carb diets.
