- 1 cup cashews (soaked for at least 10 min)
- ¾ cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 1 tbs. coconut sugar
- 1 tsp. Heilala vanilla powder or extract
- pinch of salt
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 1 tbs. raw cacao powder
- 1 tbs. coconut sugar
- ½ tsp. Heilala vanilla powder or extract
- pinch of salt
- Punnet of strawberries or your favourite fruit
- In a food processor or high power blender (we use our Vitamix) whiz the cashew, coconut milk and coconut oil until smooth.
- Add the Heilala vanilla and coconut sugar and whiz til well combined.
- Taste test. Yum.
- Get 4 cute jars or glass bowls and pour or spoon in the first layer of vanilla mousse.
- Place these jars into the fridge.
- Place the vanilla filling aside.
- Place all the ingredients in to the food processor (don't worry about washing the excess vanilla mix, ain't nobody got time for that!).
- Whiz until super smooth. The friction from the blending with allow the chocolate to melt and combine together.
- Get your jars out of the fridge and pour or spoon in the first chocolate layer.
- Place back in to the fridge for a couple minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up a little.
- Continue this method with alternating layers of choc and vanilla until you have used all the mixture.
- Top with chopped strawberries, if your jars are too small, serve the strawberries on the side.
- Place the jars in to the fridge for at least an hour or prepare the day before and leave overnight.
- Take out of the fridge at least 20 mins before serving as the choccy layer will be a little hard.
- If the whole layering thing seems a bit annoying just do 2 layers of vanilla and 1 of chocolate OR get a large glass bowl/dish and do one big Vanilla Choc Mousse cake and spoon it out like delicious icecream.
