Description

This 3-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse is a quick, easy, and low-carb dessert that uses full-fat coconut cream as the base. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a rich and creamy chocolate mousse that’s dairy-free and perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings without the guilt. The mousse can be served immediately or chilled to set, making it a versatile dessert option for any occasion.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 27 fl oz full-fat coconut cream (or coconut milk)
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners sweetener (or confectioners icing sugar if not counting carbs)
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 pinch salt (about 1/4 teaspoon, optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1 oz 70% chocolate, shaved (optional for extra richness or sugar-free chocolate chips)
  • Chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Coconut Cream: Place sealed cans of coconut cream or milk in the refrigerator overnight to let the cream separate. Without shaking, carefully open the cans and scoop out the thick cream from the top, transferring it into a bowl. Discard or save the liquid for smoothies.
  2. Whip the Cream and Sweetener: Add the sweetener or sugar to the coconut cream and beat on high with a hand mixer or whisk until thick and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Reserve about 4 tablespoons of this plain whipped cream to use as a topping later and set it aside.
  3. Add Cocoa and Salt: Gently fold the cocoa powder and salt into the remaining coconut cream and beat again until smooth, thick, and well combined. If using, fold in the shaved 70% chocolate or sugar-free chocolate chips for extra richness.
  4. Set and Serve: Depending on your coconut milk brand, the mousse may form immediately. If not, refrigerate it until set. Serve by dolloping the reserved whipped cream on top and sprinkling with additional chocolate shavings for garnish.

Notes

  • Using full-fat coconut cream is essential to achieve the right mousse consistency.
  • For a dairy-free and low-carb dessert, choose sweeteners like erythritol or monk fruit confectioners sweetener.
  • If your coconut milk doesn’t separate, refrigerate longer or use only coconut cream brands designed for whipping.
  • The optional shaved chocolate adds texture and extra chocolate flavor but can be omitted for a simpler mousse.
  • Keep the mousse refrigerated if not serving immediately; it will thicken slightly as it chills.
  • Reserve the coconut water leftover for smoothies or other recipes to avoid waste.
