This Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Chocolate Mousse is rich, creamy, and totally indulgent while being free of gluten and dairy!
Ingredients:
- 200g (7oz) dairy-free dark chocolate (look for one with a high cocoa percentage)
- 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk (chilled overnight)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave syrup (optional for extra sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the coconut milk:
- Open the chilled can of coconut milk, and scoop out the solidified coconut cream from the top. You can save the remaining coconut water for smoothies or cooking later.
- Melt the chocolate:
- Break the dark chocolate into pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until fully melted and smooth.
- Whisk the mousse:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut cream, melted chocolate, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk everything together until smooth and creamy.
- Chill:
- Transfer the mousse mixture into individual serving dishes or a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it firms up to a mousse-like consistency.
- Serve:
- Once chilled, serve your mousse with a garnish of fresh berries, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra indulgent touch.
Enjoy your rich, decadent chocolate mousse that’s completely gluten and dairy-free! It’s the perfect dessert for any occasion, and it will satisfy even the most serious chocolate cravings.
