Prep time: 265 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 270 min
Yield: 6 (glasses)
Ingredients: 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder; 1 Tbsp carob powder ((optional // deepens the chocolate flavor and sweetens)); 3/4 cup chopped cocoa butter (or sub vegan bittersweet/dark chocolate); 1 pinch sea salt; 1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk ((divided // I like Thai Kitchen or Whole Foods 365*)); 1 tsp pure vanilla extract; Stevia ((to taste // ~3/4 tsp powdered stevia as recipe is written)); 6-9 whole pitted medjool dates ((this helps thicken as well as naturally sweeten! If you don’t have dates, you could also sub maple syrup, but the mousse will be thinner)); Coconut Whipped Cream; Chopped vegan dark chocolate ((or store-bought)); Raspberries
