Ingredients
Scale
Mousse
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup coconut cream (well chilled)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Chocolate Ganache
- 100g dark chocolate (vegan, chopped)
- 1/4 cup coconut cream (warmed)
Instructions
- Prepare the mousse: In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup well-chilled coconut cream, and 1/4 cup pure maple syrup. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
- Chill the mousse: Transfer the blended mousse into serving dishes or bowls. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let it set and develop a creamy texture.
- Make the chocolate ganache: Gently warm 1/4 cup coconut cream until hot but not boiling. Pour it over 100g of chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy.
- Assemble and serve: Once the mousse is chilled and set, spoon the chocolate ganache over the top evenly. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut cream for the best texture and richness.
- Ensure the coconut cream for the ganache is warm enough to melt the chocolate without overheating.
- For a gluten-free dessert, confirm the chocolate used is certified gluten-free.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted to taste if a sweeter mousse is desired.
- This mousse is best served within 24 hours refrigerated for optimal freshness.
