Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 60 ml Maple syrup
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by chilling the coconut milk in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cream to separate and solidify at the top.
Step 2
Scoop the solidified coconut cream into a mixing bowl, leaving the liquid behind, and set it aside for later use.
Step 3
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the coconut oil and add the brown sugar, whisking constantly until the sugar dissolves and forms a thick syrup, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, continuing to whisk until evenly combined.
Step 5
Dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water, and pour this into the caramel mixture, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes or until the caramel thickens noticeably.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the vegan caramel cool to room temperature.
Step 7
In the mixing bowl with the coconut cream, gently fold in the cooled caramel sauce along with the salt. Make sure to incorporate it evenly for a consistent flavor.
Step 8
Once the mixture is smooth and well-combined, either use an electric mixer or whisk vigorously to aerate the mousse until it becomes light and fluffy.
Step 9
Spoon the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 10
Serve chilled as an elegant dessert, optionally garnished with grated vegan chocolate or a sprinkle of sea salt.
