Easy Chocolate Mousse
Monday 26 January 2015
After a slight break we are back with a delicious chocolate mousse for you!
Did you buy or receive a blender for Christmas, have become really bored with the juicing craze (khale smoothie anyone?) and now want something to do with your new sparkly blender? Well this luxurious mousse will tick all your boxes. This is an all in one dessert where all you need to do is blast the mix together and heat up the milk, what could be simpler? This dessert is one which needs to be set in the fridge, preferably overnight so this makes the perfect night before prep dessert. There is a lovely hint of coconut behind it from the milk, but if this is not to your tastes soya milk will work perfectly too! Hope you enjoy!
You will need:
- 300ml chocolate coconut milk-
- 300g dark chocolate block or chips-
- 2 large eggs-
- 50g caster sugar-
Method:
1) Measure out your ingredients and put your chocolate, eggs and sugar in a blender. As we are blending the mixture, it will form a light, smooth texture, almost reminiscent of chocolate mousse. blend until the chocolate is in small chunks and the eggs and sugar have come together.
2) Put your coconut milk into a pan and heat over the stove until it starts to simmer or bubble, watching carefully that it doesn't boil over!

3) Take off the heat and pour the milk into the blender and blend for about 30 seconds, the hot milk will melt the chocolate and will help to bring the mix together.
4) Once everything is melted and combined, sieve the liquid to make sure there are no lumps left and pour into cups. Pop your cups or glasses into the fridge and leave overnight to set.
So here you have it, your delicious chocolate dairy free mousse just waiting for you to eat!
Happy Baking!
