Categories     Dessert

Time 9h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 15-ounce cans full fat coconut milk, refrigerated for 8 hours
2/3 cup natural cocoa powder
1/2 cup vegan powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Scrape the solid coconut cream from the cans into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (alternatively, use a handheld electric mixer and a large mixing bowl), leaving the liquid coconut milk behind. This should yield slightly less than two cups of solid coconut cream. Reserve the liquid coconut milk for another use.
  • Sift the cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat the coconut cream until very smooth and soft peaks appear, about 2 minutes. Remove 1/4 cup of the cream. Cover and transfer to the refrigerator for topping the mousse.
  • With the mixer running on low, slowly sprinkle in the sifted cocoa-sugar mixture into the remaining coconut cream until well combined, scraping down the bowl as needed. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Beat in vanilla extract until just combined.
  • Divide the mousse between four dessert cups. Refrigerate for one hour, or until firm. Top each cup with the reserved whipped topping and serve.

An easy creamy vegan chocolate mousse recipe you can make in under 5 minutes!

Provided by Chocolate Covered Katie

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 can coconut milk or cream
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp dutch cocoa powder or additional regular
3-4 tbsp powdered sugar or erythritol ((or 2 tbsp for extra dark))
optional 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
optional 2-3 tbsp peanut butter

Steps:

  • Either refrigerate the coconut milk can overnight, or open and freeze about 10 minutes. (I store a can in the fridge so there's always one ready to go. Be sure to use full-fat canned coconut milk for this recipe. Try not to shake the can, because you want the cream separate from the water underneath.)Once cold, open the can and transfer only the thick part to a bowl. Discard the watery part, or save for another recipe. Using either a stand mixer or hand beaters (or a fork and a ton of strength and patience), whip the cream until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and whip until it forms a mousse-like texture. View Nutrition Facts

DECADENT CHOCOLATE FROSTING OR MOUSSE (VEGAN)



Decadent Chocolate Frosting or Mousse (Vegan) image

This versatile dessert is wonderful as a frosting for cakes or cupcakes, or perfect as a mousse with chopped strawberries, or a fruit dip. It is so creamy and rich that nobody will believe you if you tell them it contains tofu! Adapted from Alex Jamieson's The Great American Detox Diet. She called for maple syrup, but I think agave has a more neutral flavor. You can use any sweet syrup you want.

Tips:

  • For the chocolate frosting, use good quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
  • If you want a lighter frosting, you can use a combination of dark and milk chocolate.
  • To make the frosting extra creamy, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream or coconut cream.
  • For the mousse, use a high-powered blender or food processor to get a smooth and creamy texture.
  • If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the avocado and tofu by hand, but it will not be as smooth.
  • To make the mousse extra chocolatey, add 1/2 cup of melted dark chocolate.
  • Both the frosting and the mousse can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These vegan chocolate frosting and mousse recipes are a delicious and decadent way to top your favorite cakes, cupcakes, and pastries. They are also great for spreading on toast, fruit, or crackers. With their rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, these recipes are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
