Calories: 121kcal
Ingredients
- 1 14 ounce can full fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
- 2 tbsp. powdered sugar more or less to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp +2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 c. semisweet or bittersweet chocolate shavings*
Instructions
- Carefully open and remove the thick cream at the top of each can of coconut milk, taking care not to get too much of the milk (a tiny bit is okay), and place it in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Refrigerate the remaining milk for another use.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if desired). Beat on high with a hand mixer or the stand mixer until thick and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside 4 tablespoons of the whipped mixture to add on top of the finished mousse.
- Using a mesh sieve, sprinkle in the cocoa powder and beat until thick and smooth, about 1 minute.
- Divide into 4 portions. Dollop with whipped coconut and garnish with chocolate shavings. Enjoy immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
Notes
STORE the 5 Ingredient Chocolate Coconut Mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Make sure to let it sit at room temperature for about an hour before serving, or it will be quite hard.
For the best experience, enjoy the mousse chilled straight from the fridge or after a short thaw.
