Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (14 ounces / 400 grams) can full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
- ½ cup creamy natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- ¼ cup maple syrup or agave syrup
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Toppings:
- Chopped peanuts
- Dairy-free chocolate chips
- Coconut whipped cream
- Drizzle of melted dark chocolate or peanut butter
Instructions
- Extract the solidified coconut cream from the chilled can, carefully separating it from the liquid portion, which can be reserved for alternative culinary uses.
- Utilize a hand mixer or whisk to transform the coconut cream into a light, airy texture, ensuring a smooth and consistent mixture.
- Incorporate the peanut butter into the whipped coconut cream, gently folding to create a harmonious blend without deflating the delicate air bubbles.
- Gradually introduce the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly to achieve a sweet, velvety consistency that maintains the mousse’s soft, pillowy structure.
- Continue whipping the mixture until it reaches a peak of fluffiness, with a rich, creamy appearance that promises a decadent vegan dessert experience.
- Transfer the mousse to serving glasses or a storage container, using a spatula to capture every luxurious dollop.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the mousse to set and develop its full, robust flavor profile.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate to enhance the visual and taste appeal.
Notes
- Chill the coconut milk can overnight in the refrigerator to ensure the cream separates completely from the liquid.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the richest, most luxurious mousse texture that mimics traditional dairy-based desserts.
- Whip the coconut cream at high speed to incorporate more air, creating a lighter, more voluminous mousse that feels indulgent and creamy.
- Adjust sweetness by adding maple syrup or agave nectar gradually, tasting as you go to achieve your perfect balance of sweetness without overpowering the nutty peanut butter flavor.
