Ingredients
  

  • 1 14 ounce can Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • 3 1/2 ounces Dark Chocolate Chopped, 70% or higher is best
  • 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Unflavored Gelatin
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons Coconut Sugar Optional, see note
  • 1/2 cup Roughly Chopped Strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Orange Juice
  • Cacao Nibs For topping

Instructions
 

  • Add the coconut milk to a small sauce pot over medium heat.
  • Once hot, add the chocolate and cocoa powder and whisk until melted.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low, and slowly add the gelatin while whisking. If you add it all at once it will clump.
  • Add the vanilla bean extract and coconut sugar (if using) and whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the mixture into jars or ramekins and let cool on the counter for 10-15 minutes. Cover then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
  • Make the strawberry chia sauce by combining the strawberries, chia seeds and orange juice in a small sauce pot over medium-high heat. Cook, breaking down the strawberries with a spatula for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  • Transfer the strawberry mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times until roughly pureed.
  • Top mousse with strawberry sauce and cacao nibs before serving.

Notes

  • The mousse is decadent in a dark chocolate kind of way but not overly sweet when using 70% or higher chocolate. If you prefer a sweeter tasting mousse, add 1-2 (or more) tablespoons of coconut sugar.
