I have made this decadent vegan chocolate mousse on many occasions and it’s a show-stopper every time.
Whenever I make this I’m met with “are you SURE this is vegan? There has to be heavy cream in this, NO WAY this is vegan”.
It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser when you need to impress your guests.

Ingredients
- Canned coconut milk – This is what we’re using as the base of our vegan whipped cream and chocolate mousse. Make sure to put it in the fridge for at least 24 hours.
- Cocoa powder
- Vanilla
- Coconut sugar – You can also use white sugar. Coconut sugar is a bit healthier because it’s less processed. That means it still has its fiber and minerals intact.
- Powdered sugar
- Salt – Just a little pinch to bring out the flavors even more.
Recipe tips
This is a great dessert to make for a party. Make everything the night before and then have it all ready to go the day of the party. Just keep everything in the fridge.
The hardest part about this recipe is remembering to put the coconut milk in the fridge for at least 12-24 hours before you make this.
So, once you get home from the grocery store, throw that coconut milk in the fridge right away. I always try to have a can in the fridge at all times.
And as an added bonus, the chocolate mousse is also an amazing vegan frosting for a birthday cake.
I love topping this parfait with some fresh fruit as well. Strawberries or raspberries go extremely well with this.
It never fails to impress guests because it’s so rich, creamy and delicious. Try it out and let me know how you loved it!
This is great for a sweet valentine’s treat to show yourself or a loved one a little love.
How to store
This is great to make ahead and then keep it in the fridge until you’re ready. This will last about a week in the fridge (if you can resist from eating it).
