Creamy and silky thanks to coconut milk and dark chocolate, these sleek little cups are topped with airy coconut whipped cream for the ultimate plant-based indulgence. Minimal effort, maximum elegance.
Ingredients
For the mousse:
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk (chilled overnight)
6 oz high-quality dark chocolate (70%+), chopped
2 tbsp maple syrup (or to taste)
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
Pinch of sea salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the topping:
1/2 cup chilled coconut cream (from top of a second can of coconut milk)
1 tbsp powdered sugar or maple syrup
Optional: crushed pistachios, chocolate shavings, or pomegranate seeds
Instructions
Gently heat 1/2 cup of the thick coconut cream with chopped chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and whisk in maple syrup, cardamom, vanilla, and salt.
Fold in the remaining coconut cream (from the chilled can) until mousse-like.
Divide into small glasses or cups. Chill for at least 2 hours until set.
Whip the topping ingredients until soft peaks form.
Top each mousse cup with a dollop of whipped coconut cream and optional garnishes before serving.
