Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup almond butter, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup coconut milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond butter and cocoa powder. Use a spatula or a whisk to mix them together until they are well combined and smooth.
- Add the maple syrup to the mixture. Stir continuously to ensure that the syrup is fully incorporated into the almond butter and cocoa mixture.
- Pour in the coconut milk gradually while mixing. This will help create a creamy texture. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
- Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup, if desired.
- Once the mousse is fully mixed and has a creamy consistency, spoon it into serving dishes or bowls.
- Refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set slightly, although it can be served immediately if desired.
- Before serving, you can garnish the mousse with toppings such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.
- Enjoy your delicious Almond Butter Chocolate Mousse as a rich and satisfying vegan dessert!
