Ingredients
- 1 (14-oz) can coconut cream chilled*
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar , powdered**
- pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Chill the tools. Place a glass or metal bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (or in the freezer for 10 minutes) before whipping the coconut cream. This helps the coconut cream stay cold longer and set up faster.
- Whip the coconut cream. Scoop out the chilled coconut cream into the pre-chilled mixing bowl. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the cream until light and fluffy, for 1-2 minutes. Don't overwhip the cream; otherwise, it will go from smooth and creamy to broken (separated) and grainy.
- Add the rest of the ingredients. Add the cocoa powder and coconut sugar to the mixing bowl, and whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, for about a minute. Taste and adjust the flavor as needed, adding more cocoa powder for a more chocolaty flavor and coconut sugar for sweetness.
- Chill. Transfer the chocolate mousse into a piping bag with a star decorating tip 1M. Place the piping bag in the refrigerator and let the mousse chill for 15-30 minutes before piping.
- Serve. Pipe or spoon the chilled chocolate mousse into serving bowls, glasses, or espresso cups. Serve immediately.
- Store. Leftover chocolate mousse keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
*Place the can of coconut cream in the coldest part of the refrigerator overnight. Make sure not to shake or tip the can to encourage the separation of the cream and liquid.
*You can use canned coconut cream, but for truly raw mousse, use raw coconut cream made from fresh coconuts.
**If you only have granulated coconut sugar, add it to a high-speed blender and blend it into a fine powder before proceeding with the recipe.
***Prep time does not include chilling the coconut cream, about 12 hours.
