Meet my newest chocolate obsession, this dairy free Chocolate Mousse. It is perfect for Passover

Chocolate desserts are always a huge hit. But it can be challenging to find recipes that don’t contain flour or dairy.

So most Kosher families are stuck with boring old desserts during Pesach. But that is a thing of the past.

The coconut milk gives this Pareve dessert a rich, creamy, decadent chocolaty taste.

So it’s perfect to serve with you seder meat meal.

Chag sameach my gorgeous friend. Wishing you the most magical Yomtov filled with all of Hashem’s blessings.

Passover Chocolate Mousse

  • Author: Melissa Mayo

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz / 280g semi-sweet chocolate chopped
  • 2½ cups coconut milk
  • 2½ cups water
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs – room temperature
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 TBS potato starch
  • 2 TBS cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Coconut flakes and chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Cover and set aside.

Heat the coconut milk and water in a medium pot over medium-high heat until it begins to steam (4-5 minutes). Set aside.

In a food processor, pulse the sugar, eggs, salt, potato starch and cocoa until combined. Add a cup of the hot liquid through the spout in a steady stream and pulse again.

Add the egg mixture from the food processor to the remaining hot liquid. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until it’s thick and glossy and begins to bubble.

Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the melted chocolate and the vanilla extract.

Divide the dessert among 12 glasses and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.

Top with coconut flakes and chocolate shavings before serving.

SERVES 12

Notes

You can pour the mousse into one large glass bowl instead.
