Coconut chocolate mousse is made with coconut milk which makes the chocolate mousse extra creamy and rich.
Be sure to use full fat coconut milk, not light.
You will need a stand mixer to whip the coconut milk as it does take awhile to whip.
No eggs are needed for this coconut chocolate mousse recipe! Egg free and dairy free chocolate mousse that tastes absolutely decadent!
You wont believe its vegan. It does look grainy and not a smooth color like full dairy and egg chocolate mousse. But, the texture is creamy and delicious! You will love it!
Try sifting the cocoa powder to make it light and fluffy. This will prevent the grainy bits in your mousse.
