Serves 6
Easy
Prep:
Recipe writer and content creator Alexina Anatole shares the one ingredient that will take this chocolate mousse to richer, more cocoa-y levels
Skip to ingredients
- 470ml 'whole' oat milk (e.g. Oatly)
- 400g 70% dark chocolate (e.g. Menier)roughly chopped
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp espresso powder
- ice
- whipped creamto serve (optional)
- flaky sea saltto garnish (optional)
Method
step 1
Set a small to medium stainless steel bowl in a large bowl full of ice.
step 2
Add the oat milk, chopped chocolate, vanilla and espresso powder to a saucepan and place over a low heat, whisking until everything is melted and fully homogenous.
step 3
Pour the chocolate mix into the prepared bowl and whip vigorously until the mousse has thickened and lightened in colour, around 2 to 3 minutes (I like to do this by hand for greater control, but you could use an electric hand mixer instead, in which case it will take even less time). Transfer to individual serving coupes or glasses and place aside until ready to serve.
