2. Double chocolate mousse–

You are going to love this recipe! No eggs and no dairy! Just 3 ingredients for a thick, creamy and rich chocolate mousse that happens to be low carb and good for you.

Ingredients-

• 800ml cans of coconut milk 
• 2 tablespoons confectioners sweetener 
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• pinch of salt 
• 20 g | 2 squares 70% chocolate, shaved 
• extra shaved chocolate to garnish

Instructions-

• Place sealed cans of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight. Without shaking the cans, open carefully, and scoop out the thick cream sitting at the top above the water. Transfer the thick hard cream to a bowl and discard all of the liquid left in the bottom of the cans (or reserve to add into smoothies later).
• Add the sweetener (or sugar if using) and beat on at a high speed using a hand mixer (or whisk) until thick and creamy for about 1-2 minutes. 
• Reserve about 4 tablespoons of the plain \’whipped cream\’ to use as a topping to serve with and set aside.
• Fold the cocoa powder and salt through the cream and beat (or whisk) again until smooth.
• Fold through the shaved chocolate if using. Depending on the coconut milk you use, a mousse will form almost immediately once the cocoa powder is mixed through. If not, refrigerate until set and ready to serve, or serve immediately. 
• Dollop the \’plain whipped cream\’ over the mousse and sprinkle with shaved chocolate (if using).
