The dark chocolate flavor of this rich, coconut milk-based mousse satisfies your sweet tooth, especially if you’re a fan of a certain coconut-and-almond candy bar. Be sure to use high-quality unsweetened Dutch cocoa powder for the best flavor, plain cocoa powder tends to lend a soapy flavor to this dessert.

Dark Chocolate Almond Mousse
Ingredients
- 1 14-ounce (414ml) can unsweetened coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
- 3 tbsp unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 drops almond extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/4 cup (20g) sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup (15g) unsweetened coconut flakes
Directions
Open the can of coconut milk and poke a hole through the solid coconut cream in the top of the can. Pour off the liquid coconut water in the bottom of the can and reserve for smoothies.
Put 1 cup of the solid coconut cream in a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and beat with a hand mixer on high until smooth and fluffy, 2 minutes. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the whipped coconut cream in a small bowl. Sift the cocoa powder over the remaining coconut cream, add the almond extract, and beat until incorporated and fluffy.
Spoon the mousse into 4 small (1/2-cup/118ml) ramekins. Dollop the reserved plain coconut whipped cream on top of each mousse and refrigerate.
In a small, dry saucepan, toast the almonds and coconut flakes over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown, 1 minute. Sprinkle the mousse with the almonds and coconut immediately before serving.
