Heavenly Chocolate mousse

This chocolate mousse is angelic, so seriously light!
One thing I never liked about real mousse (when I wasn't vegan) is that usually it would leave me feeling quite heavy - but with this one it both tastes like real mousse and doesn't make you feel heavy! (I think this qualifies it as being the perfect chocolate mousse!)

Heavenly...... 




Ingredients 

(Makes around 3 mini mousse bowls full) 
  • 2 cans of coconut cream (2 x 160ml cans) 
  • 1 1/2 tbs of cocoa/ cacao powder (more if you want it more chocolatey than I have it in my picture) 
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract or seeds from 1 vanilla pod
  • Sweetener to taste (I would use around 2 tsp of maple syrup or honey or 1 packet of truvia/ stevia  - but use more or less depending on how big your sweet tooth is!) 

Method 

  1. Pour out the coconut cream into a bowl and whip it up until all the coconut cream and liquid are combined
  2. Place the coconut cream in the freezer for 45 mins to an hour - the top of it should be slightly frozen 
  3. Now add the cocoa powder and sweetener and vanilla and whip up with an electric whisk until all combined 
  4. Serve in small mousse bowls. You could add chopped fruit of chocolate sprinkles to the top to make it look pretty!
