Chocolate has a lot of great benefits for your health, which is the only reason I eat it! Yeah right! Ever since I started making my own chocolate, I have saved money and don't need to worry about the soy. Then I discovered this. It takes hardly any time and is easy, dairy free and delicious. Hope you all enjoy it too.
DARK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
1/2 cup fair-trade cocoa powder (A cocoa powder that is Dutch Processed removes all the benefits from the cocoa by using sodium carbonate, or washing soda. There are so many opinions on this, decided what is best for you and your family.)
1/4 cup melted raw, unrefined coconut oil
1 TB raw honey, if you want semisweet or milk chocolate, add more
1 can of cold coconut milk, not the beverage and I prefer Native Forest
Add all ingredients together and blend until smooth. Serve with some raspberries or top with almonds and Celtic salt.
When I made this the first time, my coconut milk was in the fridge in a mason jar. I needed only 3 TB for a previous recipe so I poured the rest in glass to store for later use. When I was making my chocolate I remembered I had that in the fridge and thought, "What if I added that to my mixture?". I added half and then the mixture turned into a hard consistency and the added the rest and voila! My very own dark chocolate mousse!!! So exciting!
