Chocolate Mousse Cups

Desserts

By Brooke Meredith, A Conscious Collection

This simple recipe is one of my all time favourites, Who ever knew something so healthy that uses so little ingredients could be good for you? Sweetened with rice malt syrup this mousse is low fructose and can be whipped up in minutes. Set in the fridge and serve chilled.

Ingredients
Method

Mousse
200ml coconut cream
¼ cup rice malt syrup or Coconut Nectar
¼ tsp Vanilla Powder
¼ cup Cacao Powder
Chocolate
½ cup Coconut Oil
½ cup Cacao Powder
3 tbs maple syrup or Coconut Nectar
You will need
Silicon moulds. 6 large or 12 small.

Step 1Place your individual silicon moulds in the freezer to cool.
Step 2Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan on a low temperature, add the cacao, maple syrup and almond butter, whisking until smooth and creamy.
Step 3Once melted, coat the inside of the moulds with a layer of chocolate, using a knife to help spread it on evenly, ensuring the base of the cup and sides are nicely covered. Repeat for all moulds and place back in the freezer.
Step 4After 2 minutes the chocolate should have firmed. Repeat this process to form the hard shell of the outside of the cup. (the double layer will help make it strong) Place back in freezer.
Step 5While they are setting it’s time to make your mouse.
Step 6Simply place all mousse ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. This will be runny for now but will thicken in the fridge.
Step 7Once cups have set, remove and fill them with the mousse. Leave a little bit of room on the top as you will be sealing it with more chocolate.
Step 8Place in the freezer to set again for around 10 minutes or until firm enough to add another layer without it mixing.
Step 9Remove from the freezer and place the final layer of chocolate on top.
Step 10Set in the freezer for another 10 minutes, then store in the fridge.

Recipe sounds delicious.
In step 1 you mention almond butter, however, it is not in the list of ingredients. Do you mean coconut cream or is there almond butter in this recipe?
Thank you in advance for your response.

There's no almond butter in the ingredients list but it's mentioned in the method. How much is needed to make the chocolate coating?

Many thanks!

In the method section it says to add almond butter but it's not listed in the ingredients. How much is needed?

In the ingredients I can't see where it says almond butter but in the method section it says that it's used??
