Crafting the Mousse

1. Begin by melting the dark chocolate. You can do this in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or use the microwave. Ensure it’s smooth and without lumps.
2. In a separate saucepan, warm the coconut milk over medium heat, but don’t let it boil.
3. Once warm, whisk in the cocoa powder, ensuring there are no lumps.
4. Add the melted chocolate to the coconut milk and stir until combined.
5. Stir in the agave syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
6. Once mixed thoroughly, pour the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.
7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until set.

Top Tips for the Best Mousse

1. Opt for high-quality dark chocolate – it truly makes a difference in flavor.
2. For an even richer mousse, you can fold in some whipped coconut cream before chilling.
3. A quick zest of orange or a dash of cinnamon can add an extra layer of flavor.
4. Ensure the mousse is set properly by chilling it for the right duration.

Serving Suggestions

• Garnish the Vegan Chocolate and Coconut Mousse with toasted coconut flakes for an added crunch.
• Fresh berries, especially raspberries or strawberries, complement the richness beautifully.
• A dollop of vegan whipped cream can be an exquisite addition.
• Drizzle with a bit of vegan caramel or chocolate sauce for an even more indulgent treat.
