Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 400ml can full fat coconut milk (see special instructions)
  • 8 ounces pitted and diced soft dried dates 19 dates for me
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Place the coconut milk can in the fridge for at least 8 hours. Once chilled, do not shake and turn the can upside down and open at the bottom. Drain the clear liquid out of the can, saving for a smoothie or soups for later. Spoon the white thick coconut milk out to use for the recipe.
  2. In a food processor or blender, such as a Blendtec, blend the dates and the thick coconut milk until completely blended. This will take a few minutes.
  3. Once smooth, blend in the cocoa powder and vanilla until combined.
  4. Pour into four small ramekins or bowls. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or even overnight.
  5. Serve cold with whipping cream and sprinkles!

Notes

Be prepared to run your blender for a long time. The mousse needs to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
