Rich & Spicy Dark Chocolate Mousse
April 12, 2017
There’s no way you can say no thank you to this light and airy decadent dark chocolate mousse. This dessert has been re-mastered from a delicious bowl I was served at a little French restaurant in Carmel, California. A little of this chocolate goodness goes a long way and there is plenty for sharing. ; ) P.S. It's gluten and dairy free, Oui Oui!

Directions
1In a medium bowl stir together sugar, cocoa powder, arrowroot powder, salt and spices.
2Whisk in ⅓ cup coconut milk a little at a time to create a smooth, thin paste.
3In a medium saucepan, combine chocolate and remaining 1 ⅔ cups milk.
4Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted.
5While stirring over low heat, slowly whisk the cocoa paste into the chocolate mixture and continue to store until the mixture thickens to a pudding like consistency.
6Cook for 1 minute more.
7Remove pan from heat. Stir in vanilla extract.
8Divide among 4 dishes and serve warm or cover the surface of the pudding directly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully set, about 2 hours.
9To serve top each pudding with whipped cream, if desired.
Juicy Tip:
- I love to serve this mousse with any combination of the following: fresh mint leaves, shaved coconut flakes, berries and white or dark chocolate shavings.
- I sub out regular sugar for Navitas Naturals Coconut Sugar because of it's higher nutritional value and lower glycemic index.
