Vegan Chocolate Mousse

This is currently my favorite treat.  Dan is a huge fan as well.  I am already planning some yummy things to try with it.  I hope you enjoy it.  The original recipe is found Here
vegan chocolate mousse
serves 2

  • 1 cup raw cashew nuts
  • 1/3 cup So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk 
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Soak raw cashews in warm water for 30 minutes.  Drain.  Add soaked cashews, coconut milk, and maple syrup to blender.  Blend on high for 1-2 minutes.  Add melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.  Continue to blend on high until smooth and creamy.  Pour into 2 single-serving bowls and cover with plastic wrap.  Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. 


Notes:
 I find that this is pretty rich.  I like to add just a little bit more coconut milk
I also think it's more like 4 servings than 2.
As you can tell from my pictures I like fruit with mine.
