Ingredients
  

  • 1 (14 oz) can full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
  • 8 oz dark chocolate (70 to 72% cocoa), finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of flaky salt

Method
 

  1. Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. Cool slightly.
  2. Scoop the solid cream from the chilled coconut milk can (about 1 cup) and whip until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Add maple syrup and vanilla, mixing just to combine.
  3. Fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream until the mixture is a uniform deep brown and thickened. Divide among 4 ramekins, cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour until set.
  4. Serve chilled, finished with a pinch of flaky salt and chocolate curls if you like.

Notes

The mousse needs at least 1 hour in the fridge to set; it will be firmer after 2 hours. Keep it covered so it doesn’t pick up fridge odors.
