Rich Dark Chocolate Mousse

Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz can full fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
  • 7 oz vegan dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/3 cup (90g) Natural SunButter
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
  • 1/2 cup (165g) pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Coconut whipped cream, optional topping
  • Fresh berries, optional topping

Directions

  • Remove the chilled can of coconut milk from the refrigerator and turn it upside down. Use a can opener to cut the bottom and pour out the clear coconut water, leaving behind the coconut cream (about a heaping 1/2 cup).
  • Scoop the coconut cream into a large heat-safe bowl and add the chocolate and SunButter.
  • Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir the mixture until smooth and melted. 
  • Remove from the heat and mix in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  • Keep mixing until it’s completely smooth and well combined.
  • Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes or until the bowl is no longer warm on the bottom.
  • Once chilled, whip the mousse using an electric hand mixer. Mix on high speed until lightened and fluffy.
  • Distribute the mousse between 6 small dishes and add your favorite toppings. Eat right away or store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
