Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by measuring out the dairy-free dark chocolate chips, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Create a double boiler by filling a medium saucepan with about 2 inches of water and placing a heat-safe glass bowl on top, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Heat the water to a gentle simmer and add the dairy-free dark chocolate chips to the glass bowl, stirring slowly and consistently until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the melted chocolate from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent potential separation when adding other ingredients.
- Add the coconut cream to the melted chocolate, whisking gently until fully incorporated and creating a smooth, glossy mixture.
- Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt, mixing until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is uniform.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture into individual serving dishes or a large serving bowl.
- Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2-3 hours or until it sets and becomes firm with a creamy texture.
- Optional: Before serving, garnish with fresh berries, dairy-free whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your dairy-free and egg-free chocolate mousse.
Tips
- Choose high-quality dairy-free dark chocolate chips for the most intense chocolate flavor.
- Use full-fat coconut cream to ensure a rich, creamy texture.
- Make sure your double boiler setup doesn't allow water to touch the chocolate to prevent seizing.
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before adding other ingredients to maintain smooth consistency.
- Whisk gently when incorporating ingredients to keep the mousse light and airy.
- Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to achieve the perfect mousse texture.
- For extra elegance, use individual serving glasses or ramekins.
- Experiment with garnishes like fresh berries, mint leaves, or dairy-free whipped cream.
- The mousse can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for dinner parties.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
