Tips for the best Chocolate Mousse (Vegan)
- Read the whole method before you start and measure out the 3 ingredients first — it keeps the pace relaxed once the heat is on.
- Rest the finished dish for a few minutes before serving — it lets the flavours settle and the texture firm up.
- Use a kitchen scale for the dry ingredients if you have one — baking is less forgiving than cooking.
Variations
- Spicier version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or a sliced fresh chilli with the aromatics.
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
Serving ideas
Best with fresh berries on the side and a little whipped cream.
