Ingredients
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher, paleo-friendly)
- 400 ml coconut milk (full-fat, chilled in the refrigerator overnight)
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Chill a can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. This will allow the cream to separate from the liquid.
Step 2
Open the can of chilled coconut milk and scoop the solidified coconut cream into a large mixing bowl. Reserve the liquid for another use.
Step 3
Using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate along with the coconut oil. Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the two egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the coconut sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form and the sugar is dissolved.
Step 5
Gently fold the melted chocolate into the coconut cream until thoroughly combined. Add the vanilla extract and sea salt, and mix gently.
Step 6
Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate coconut mixture until the mousse is smooth and no white streaks remain.
Step 7
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
Step 8
Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
