Hello, Merrymakers! Sadie, here, from Goodies Against The Grain!
I am a thirteen-year-old paleo baker & lover of food. I’m so, immensely excited to be guest posting for Carla and Emma today. And I’ve got a really yummy, easy recipe for you all: Mexican Chocolate Mousse!
It is a light and fluffy dessert with flavours of spice, sweetness, and best of all, chocolate!!! This mousse is super simple to make: it only takes ten minutes! The rest is just chilling time. Also, it’s vegan, raw, and paleo. If you get a chance, go check me out on my blog, Instagram, or Facebook, for more delicious recipes!
- 2 cans 400 ml or 13.5 fl oz coconut milk**
- 5 tbs raw cacao powder
- 4 Tbs cacao nibs (optional for topping)
- 3 tbs maple syrup (or raw honey)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 pinches cayenne pepper (to taste!)
- Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl (except cacao nibs).
- Whisk using an electric hand mixer until smooth and whipped. It's alright if there
- are some tiny lumps of cacao.
- Scoop the mousse into a glass dish, cover, and place in the freezer for about 2 hours.
- Spoon the chilled mousse into little dishes, and serve! Top with cacao nibs, if desired.
- **The coconut cream comes from a can of full-fat coconut milk. Refrigerate the can overnight, then open it. Scoop off the hard, solid top layer, to use. Discard the clear liquid at the bottom.

YAY! SO happy to hear this! xox
could you replace the maple syrup with agave syrup?
Author
You sure could! We don’t eat agave due to the high fructose levels, you could also try rice malt syrup 🙂
can you replace the cacao with chocolate chips

Hmmm… we have never tried that?! :O maybe give it a go!
Instead of putting the coconut milk in fridge and scooping off the cream can you just use a can of coconut cream? If so would you still need 2 400ml cans?

You could probably just use the one can 🙂
