Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (13.5-oz) can full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
  • 6 oz dairy-free dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Scoop 2 tbsp of the thick coconut cream into a small bowl, add the chocolate and salt, and melt in short microwave bursts until smooth. Cool 5 minutes, then stir in vanilla.
  2. Whip the remaining coconut cream in a large bowl with a hand mixer for 2 to 3 minutes until soft peaks form.
  3. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture and maple syrup over the cream and fold with a spatula just until no streaks remain.
  4. Spoon the mousse into 4 dishes, smooth the tops, and shave extra chocolate over each one. Serve or chill.

Notes

Chill the mousse for at least 30 minutes to get a firmer, more traditional texture, or up to overnight. The chocolate shavings are best added just before serving so they stay crisp.
