Why Choose a Vegan Halal Dessert?

This vegan chocolate mousse is not only free from animal products but also adheres to halal dietary guidelines. No need to worry about non-halal gelatin or any animal byproducts, making it an excellent dessert option for everyone. Plus, it’s quick to whip up and satisfies even the most intense chocolate cravings!

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Mousse:

• 1 can (400ml) full-fat coconut milk (refrigerated overnight)
• 150g dark chocolate (make sure it’s dairy-free and halal-certified)
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of sea salt

How to Make Vegan Chocolate Mousse

1. Melt the Chocolate:
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until smooth, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

2. Whip the Coconut Cream:
Take the refrigerated can of coconut milk and scoop out the thick cream from the top, leaving the watery part behind. In a mixing bowl, whip the coconut cream using an electric mixer until it’s light and fluffy.

3. Combine Ingredients:
Add the melted chocolate to the whipped coconut cream. Stir in the maple syrup (or agave syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Fold everything together gently until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

4. Chill and Set:
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

5. Serve and Enjoy!
Once the mousse is set, it’s ready to be served. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy this silky, luxurious dessert!

Tips for the Perfect Mousse Texture

• Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk: Make sure you’re using full-fat coconut milk for that creamy texture. Light coconut milk won’t whip up the same way.
• Chill the Coconut Milk: Let the coconut milk chill in the fridge overnight to separate the cream from the water.
• Chocolate Quality Matters: Choose high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. Double-check that it’s dairy-free and halal.

Serving Suggestions

You can make this vegan chocolate mousse even more delightful by adding some toppings:

• Fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries
• A sprinkle of crushed nuts (almonds or pistachios work well)
• Shaved dark chocolate or cacao nibs for extra indulgence
• A drizzle of coconut cream for added richness

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I substitute coconut milk with another non-dairy milk?

Q: How long can I store this mousse?
This mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just cover the serving glasses with plastic wrap to keep them fresh.

Q: Can I make this dessert sugar-free?
Yes! You can substitute maple syrup with a sugar-free alternative like stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Adjust the sweetness to your taste.
