Ingredients

• 150 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa, dairy-free)
• 400 ml Coconut cream (separated from coconut milk)
• 3 tablespoons Raw honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight to allow the cream to separate from the water.

Step 2

Chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until melted, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Open the chilled can of coconut milk. Scoop the solidified coconut cream into a mixing bowl, discarding the liquid or saving it for another use.

Step 4

Using an electric mixer, whip the coconut cream until it becomes smooth and slightly fluffy. Set aside in the refrigerator while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, separate the egg yolks from the whites, keeping the whites in a separate bowl.

Step 6

Add raw honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the egg yolks. Whisk the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Slowly pour the slightly cooled melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture, stirring continuously until evenly combined.

Step 8

With clean beaters, whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

Step 9

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to deflate the whites.

Step 10

Finally, fold the whipped coconut cream into the chocolate mixture until well incorporated.

Step 11

Divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 12

Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries or a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
