Ingredients

Makes 4 serverings

For the Chocolate Mousse:

  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2–3 tablespoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of sea salt

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh berries (raspberries or strawberries)
  • Dark chocolate shavings
  • Coconut Cream
  • Fresh Mint Leaf

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Chill the Coconut Milk:
    Place the can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. This allows the cream to separate from the liquid.
  2. Scoop the Cream:
    Open the chilled can and scoop the thick coconut cream into a mixing bowl. Discard the liquid or save it for smoothies.
  3. Whip the Cream:
    Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the coconut cream until fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Add the Flavor:
    Sift in the cocoa powder, then add maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Continue whipping until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Chill & Serve:
    Divide the mousse into small bowls or glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  6. Garnish & Enjoy:
    Top with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or coconut flakes before serving.

Additional Tips & FAQs
