This recipe is perfect for chocolate lovers who are looking for a dairy-free and plant-based dessert option. Combining the rich flavors of dark chocolate with the tanginess of fresh fruit, this mousse offers a balanced and luxurious treat that is both satisfying and guilt-free.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until melted.
- Remove the melted chocolate from heat.
- Add in the maple syrup, dry cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a dash of salt. Stir until well mixed.
- Gradually add the coconut milk to the chocolate mixture.
- Whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into serving glasses or bowls.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set and firm.
- Peel the orange and remove any seeds, then segment the orange into bite-sized pieces.
- Hull the strawberries and slice them thinly.
- In a bowl, gently mix the orange segments and strawberry slices.
- Once the mousse is set, remove it from the refrigerator.
- Spoon the strawberry and orange compote over the top of each chocolate mousse serving.
- You can garnish with a sprig of mint, grated dark chocolate, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup for an extra touch.
Tips:
- For a smoother mousse texture, ensure that the dark chocolate is finely chopped before melting.
- If you prefer a sweeter mousse, you can add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup.
- Chill the coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight and use only the thick, creamy part for a richer mousse.
- Make sure to let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature before folding in the whipped coconut milk to avoid curdling.
- For an additional layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of orange zest to the mousse.
- Prepare the compote ahead of time and let it chill, allowing the flavors to meld together more intensely.
- Serve the mousse in small glasses or ramekins and top with the compote just before serving to ensure the best texture and presentation.
This vegan chocolate mousse with strawberry and orange compote is not only a flavorful and delectable dessert but also a healthy and cruelty-free option. Its simplicity in preparation makes it an ideal choice for special occasions or a comforting treat after a long day. Enjoy the blend of rich chocolate and zesty fruits, knowing you've created a delicious, plant-based delight.
