Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dairy-free, casein-free dark chocolate
- 400 ml Full-fat coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 ml Coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon Agar agar powder
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
1. Chop the dairy-free, casein-free chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, combine 100 ml of coconut milk with 1 teaspoon of agar agar powder. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes to activate the agar agar.
3. Heat the agar agar mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to boil. Continue to boil for about 2 minutes to ensure the agar agar is fully dissolved.
4. Reduce the heat to low and add the chopped chocolate into the saucepan. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
5. In a large mixing bowl, pour the remaining coconut milk, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk until well combined.
6. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the coconut milk mixture while whisking continuously. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined and smooth.
7. Divide the mousse into individual serving dishes and let it cool to room temperature.
8. Once cooled, transfer the servings to the refrigerator and allow the mousse to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
9. Serve chilled and optionally garnish with dairy-free whipped cream or shaved chocolate before serving.
