Notes

Top Tips for the Best Mousse
Opt for high-quality dark chocolate – it truly makes a difference in flavor.
For an even richer mousse, you can fold in some whipped coconut cream before chilling.
A quick zest of orange or a dash of cinnamon can add an extra layer of flavor.
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.
