4-Ingredient Vegan Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons or 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 can or 400 ml coconut milk (at least 75% fat)
- 1 cup tightly packed soft dried dates (about 18)
- Several drops vanilla extract
Preparation
Make sure to refrigerate the coconut milk overnight to solidify and separate it; when ready, turn it upside down, open it, and discard the transparent liquid that rises to the top, or save it for another use
Pit and halve the dates, and soften them in warm water if necessary
Combine the dates with 2 rounded tablespoons of coconut milk and blend in a blender
If you don't want the date skins, strain the paste; otherwise, add the remaining coconut milk and cocoa powder and blend until smooth
Add the vanilla extract and blend
Blend the mixture until the desired consistency is reached, and add extra flavor if needed
Refrigerate for several hours
