- 1 can 400 ml of full-fat coconut cream, chilled overnight
- 200 grams of high-quality dark chocolate vegan
- 2 tbsp of cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp of maple syrup
- 1 tbsp of vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: shaved chocolate toasted coconut flakes, or berries
Chill the Coconut Cream: Start by chilling your can of coconut cream in the refrigerator overnight. This helps the cream solidify and separate from the liquid.
Melt the Chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into pieces and gently melt in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Prepare Coconut Cream: Scoop the solidified coconut cream into a mixing bowl, leaving any clear liquid behind. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks.
Combine Ingredients: Add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the whipped coconut cream. Mix on low speed until well combined.
Chill the Mousse: Divide the mousse among serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve: Garnish with optional toppings like shaved chocolate, toasted coconut flakes, or fresh berries before serving.
- Coconut Cream Tip: For best results, make sure to use full-fat coconut cream and chill it overnight to ensure it whips up nicely.
- Melting Chocolate: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize.
- Letting it cool before mixing with the whipped coconut cream prevents the cream from melting.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best texture and flavor.
