Chocolate Mousse

There’s few things I love more than a bowl of creamy chocolate mousse! This recipe is easy to make and big on flavor, making it a family favorite.

Serves: Serves 6?

Chocolate Mousse

I would use a coconut oil that doesn't have an intense coconut aroma for this recipe (unless you don't mind the faint aroma of the coconut in your mousse).

Ingredients

    For the mousse:
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch sea salt
  • 5 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon instant herbal coffee (such as dandy blend)
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a medium heatproof bowl combine coconut oil, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla, pinch of salt, water, and herbal coffee. Set bowl over saucepan filled with 1 inch of simmering water. Whisk frequently until smooth and remove from heat.
  2. Whisk egg yolks, 1 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup and salt in medium bowl, about 30 seconds, until it lightens in color. Pour chocolate mixture into egg mixture and whisk until combined. Let cool until just above room temperature.
  3. In a bowl of a standing mixer, whisk egg whites until frothy and then add 1 1/2 teaspoons maple syrup. Increase the speed to medium high and whisk until soft peaks form. Remove bowl from standing mixer. Stir in about 1/4 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture then fold in the remaining whites.
  4. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold all of whipped cream into chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain. Ladle mousse into individual bowls. Cover and refrigerate until set and firm, about 2 hours.
  5. Note:
  6. if you don't have any instant herbal coffee you can use 2 tablespoons of brewed herbal coffee (such as teccino) and reduce the amount of water used in the recipe to 3 tablespoons.

    Where do you use the 5 Tb water? It's not mentioned in the instructions.

      Oops! Sorry about that. You add it in with the instant coffee. I just made the edit.

    I got this recipe from Lisa Leake & have put off making it for a couple of years... Boy I wish I hadn't been so intimidated. My husband- who is stingy with feedback- took one bite and immediately said "wow". I must have heard that it was "really good" at least 3x. (I agree!) Then he was astounded to find out I didn't use "sugar". The recipe given used butter and not coconut oil, I'll have to do that next time. (& I used 2 TB coffee brewed from this morning). This was delicious, thank you! I now know what to make for Easter!

    Can coconut cream be used in place of the heavy cream? Thanks!

      I haven't tested this recipe with substitutions, so I don't know what would lend the exact same texture and flavor.
