It is important that you buy a good quality coconut milk to get the right amount of coconut cream. Thai Kitchen is one brand to consider. Use the leftover liquid in smoothies or curries. Or purchase canned coconut cream and use 1/2 cup of the cream.

You can use other fruit to garnish this dessert, like blueberries,strawberries, kiwi, bananas, or mango. Cut the fruit in bite sized pieces. Add it to the top or arrange it in the cup along the sides of the cup before you spoon in the mango mousse. The fruit can alsobe stirred into the mousse before placing it in the cup.

Rooh Afza can be purchased at Indian grocery stores or online.
