Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 100 ml agave syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp instant espresso powder
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 50 g dark vegan chocolate
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, agave syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir occasionally until the mixture is hot but not boiling.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a smooth slurry.
Gradually pour the cornstarch slurry into the heated coconut milk mixture, stirring continuously. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken like a custard.
Divide the mixture evenly into two separate bowls. In the first bowl, whisk in the cocoa powder until fully combined. In the second bowl, whisk in the instant espresso powder.
Melt the dark vegan chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or in a double boiler. Once melted, divide it evenly and stir into both bowls, ensuring a deep chocolatey flavor in each.
Prepare individual serving cups or a medium-sized glass dish for presentation.
Alternately spoon the mocha mixture and the chocolate mixture into the dish to create layers. Once poured, use a knife to gently swirl the mixtures together to create a marbled effect.
Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until set. Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, vegan mocha swirl dessert!
