Dairy and refined sugar free chocolate mousse

Getting a little personal here…but I have had skin troubles for years. Since I was about 10 I have struggled with psoriasis and rosacea which my closest friends know I’m super self conscious about. To help ease my symptoms I reduce sugar, dair and gluten as much as possible. Which means finding dairy free alternatives to chocolate!

So…here is my saviour! And with only 3 ingredients it’s dairy free, sugar free, Vegan and SUPER quick and easy!

INGREDIENTS

400ml can of chilled coconut cream (the Aldi or Trident from Woolworths work best for me)
2-3 tblsp cacao powder
1-2tblsp natural maple syrup or honey
1-2 tsp stevia and/or vanilla essence (if desired)

METHOD

Chill coconut cream in the fridge overnight. The cream will separate from the water, so tip upside down, open the can and spoon the cream away from the water into a bowl

Add in cacao powder, honey and stevia. I didn’t use and stevia or vanilla but I have seen lots of recipes that do use them as well. It really depends on your own tastes.

Mix with a hand mixer for about 2 mins. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour (overnight is fine)

THERMOMIX version: Once the cream has chilled, add the coconut cream to the mixing bowl. Insert the butterfly and slowly increase to speed 3.5 and whip for 1 minute. Add any extra ingredients and whip again for 20 seconds on speed 3.5
