Ingredients
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% or higher)
- 1 cup coconut cream (chilled overnight)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
- 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) and add the dark chocolate. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Open the can of chilled coconut cream and scoop out the thick cream that has solidified at the top, avoiding any liquid at the bottom.
Step 3
Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the coconut cream in a large mixing bowl until fluffy and light, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Gradually fold the melted chocolate into the whipped coconut cream, using a spatula to gently combine until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
Step 5
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the mixture, folding gently to incorporate completely.
Step 6
Spoon the chocolate mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 7
Before serving, dust with unsweetened cocoa powder and top with fresh berries, if desired.
