Dear fellow chocolate lovers, here’s a delicious chocolate mousse made with a magic ingredient, and topped with a whipped coconut cream. I made it in a vegan version, so it’s also egg-free and dairy-free!

Ingredients

Scale

For the chocolate mousse:

  • 3/4 cup (170g) dark chocolate
  • 1 Tablespoon almond milk
  • 1 Tablespoon agave or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tonka bean, grated (optional)
  • Liquid from 1 can of chickpeas (i.e. the drained juice of a 400g/15 oz can of chickpeas)

For the whipped coconut cream:

  • 1 can of full fat coconut milk, very cold*
  • 2 Tablespoons confectioners sugar

Instructions

  1. For the chocolate mousse: melt the chocolate with the almond milk in a bowl placed over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave), until smooth. Add the agave syrup and the grated tonka bean (optional). Let cool for a few minutes before using.
  2. Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, whisk the liquid of chickpeas until stiff peaks form. You should have a fluffy white consistency as for egg whites (it’s magic!).
  3. Gently fold in the chocolate with a spatula, and stir slowly until totally combined.
  4. For the whipped coconut cream: carefully spoon out the top layer of opaque white stuff that has gathered at the top of the coconut milk can (don’t use the liquid part). Place into a mixing bowl.
  5. With an hand mixer, whip the coconut milk with the confectioners sugar until creamy. Start on low on move to a higher speed.
  6. Transfer into a piping bag and pipe onto each chocolate mousse bowls.
  7. Place in the refrigerator until serving. When ready to serve, decorate with slivered almonds and/or pistachios.

Notes

* If possible, place the coconut milk can in the refrigerator overnight before using it.
