Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream OR 1 can full-fat coconut milk (use only the thick cream part)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp Dutch cocoa powder (or additional regular cocoa powder)
- 1/4 cup sweetener of choice (e.g., monk fruit blend)
- Optional: 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 tsp instant coffee powder
Instructions
- Chill Equipment and Ingredients: Place the liquid cream or coconut milk and a large mixing bowl in the refrigerator until well chilled. This step ensures easier whipping and better mousse texture.
- Prepare Coconut Milk (if used): If using full-fat coconut milk, open the can and scoop out only the thick cream layer on top, discarding the watery part underneath.
- Whip the Cream: Using a stand mixer or hand beaters, whip the chilled cream or coconut cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This means the cream holds shape when the beaters are lifted.
- Add Flavorings and Sweetener: Gradually add the unsweetened cocoa powder, Dutch cocoa powder, sweetener, and optional vanilla extract and instant coffee powder to the whipped cream. Continue whipping until the mixture is smooth and has a mousse-like consistency.
- Serve or Chill: Spoon the chocolate mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up further, if desired. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free, vegan version; ensure only the thick cream is used for best texture.
- Adjust the sweetener quantity according to your taste and the sweetness of your chosen substitute.
- Adding instant coffee enhances the chocolate depth but is optional.
- For best results, chill all utensils and ingredients before whipping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
