Dairy-Free Chocolate Mousse
Rich and creamy Dairy-Free Chocolate Mousse is made with antioxidant rich dark chocolate. Even better? It’s made with only 5 ingredients. This recipe calls for dark chocolate, coconut milk, eggs, coconut sugar, and water. That’s it! I like to make this dessert during the summer months since it does not require an oven, but it’s a fabulous dessert all year round!
Summer is moving along for us over here. The boys made over $300 at their lemonade stand last weekend during the Mapleton Hill rummage sale. They ran the stand with 2 other friends and baked tons of cookies from scratch for their little business. I was so proud of them. Maybe at their next stand they’ll sell this high-protein, dairy-free chocolate mousse! I would love that.

Equipment
Coconut cream is the semi-solid substance found on the top of a can of coconut milk. To ensure that you get a thick and solid coconut cream place a can of coconut in the refrigerator overnight, then scoop the cream off the top. Save the liquid at the bottom of the can for another use if you wish.
