Ingredients:
1 can (13.5 ounces) full-fat coconut milk
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup cold water
Instructions:
Chill the Coconut Milk: Place the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. This helps the cream separate from the liquid and solidify, making it easier to whip.
Prepare the Base:
The next day, carefully open the chilled can of coconut milk without shaking it. The coconut cream should be scooped out and placed in a mixing basin. Use the leftover liquid in other recipes or smoothies.
Whip the Coconut Cream: Use an electric mixer to whip the coconut cream until it becomes light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. The texture should resemble whipped cream.
Add Cocoa Powder: To prevent lumps, sift the cocoa powder over the beaten coconut cream.
Gently fold the cocoa into the cream until fully incorporated, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.
Modify Consistency:
After adding the cocoa powder, if the mousse is still too thick, gradually stir in the cold water one tablespoon at a time until the right consistency is reached.
Chill: Put the mousse in the refrigerator for at least an hour after transferring it to a serving plate or individual cups. This enables the mousse to solidify and enhance its taste.
Serve:
After the chocolate mousse has chilled, you may present it simply or add some elegance by dusting it with cocoa powder or coconut flakes.
