Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups almond or oat milk
- 1 cup unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ cup melted extra-virgin coconut oil
Optional Toppings
- Peanut butter
- Whipped coconut cream or coconut yogurt
- Chocolate shavings
- Raspberries or strawberries
Instructions
- Blend the Base Ingredients: Combine the almond or oat milk, unsweetened cacao or cocoa powder, creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and fine sea salt in a blender. Puree on medium speed for about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides once or twice to ensure everything is well mixed and smooth.
- Add Coconut Oil: Pour in the melted extra-virgin coconut oil and continue pureeing for another 20 seconds until fully incorporated and silky in texture.
- Chill to Set: Pour the mousse mixture into individual serving cups or jars. Cover them and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to firm up and thicken. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Serve and Garnish: Once chilled and set, serve the mousse as is or garnish with optional toppings such as a dollop of whipped coconut cream, a spoonful of peanut butter, chocolate shavings, or fresh raspberries or strawberries for a decorative and flavorful touch.
Notes
- This mousse firms up as it chills due to the coconut oil solidifying—ensure it is refrigerated long enough for the best texture.
- You can substitute almond milk with oat milk or any other low FODMAP plant-based milk as preferred.
- For a sweeter mousse, adjust the maple syrup to taste.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Optional toppings add texture and flavor but are not necessary.
- This recipe is suitable for those following a low FODMAP and dairy-free diet.
