Ingredients For Only 3 Ingredients – Double Chocolate Mousse
1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk (chilled overnight, only use thick cream part)
1 cup (175 g) dairy-free dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
(Optional toppings: shaved chocolate, berries, or a sprinkle of sea salt)
Instructions
Prepare Coconut Cream: Open the chilled coconut milk and scoop out the solid cream into a mixing bowl. Discard (or save) the liquid.
Melt Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Whip the Base: Using a hand mixer, whip the coconut cream until fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
Combine: Fold in the melted chocolate and sifted cocoa powder. Mix gently until smooth and creamy.
Chill: Spoon into serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours until set.
Serve: Garnish with toppings of choice and enjoy your silky chocolate mousse!
Notes
Make sure to chill the coconut milk overnight so the cream separates.
Use good-quality dark chocolate for maximum flavor.
If you prefer a lighter mousse, fold in a bit of aquafaba (chickpea brine whipped into stiff peaks).
Tips
For extra sweetness, add 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or powdered sugar.
Add a splash of vanilla or espresso for depth.
To make it even richer, layer with crushed cookies or fruit.
Servings
Makes 4 small dessert cups or 2 generous portions.
