Impress Your Valentine with Vegan Mocha Mousse

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Ahh… chocolate. The quintessential Valentine’s Day dessert. I used to hate Valentine’s Day growing up. I was that awkward girl with braces and frizzy long hair who read a lot in high school, so I wasn’t usually the one getting roses or chocolate. Oh goodness. These days though, I am so lucky to have Will in my life to make up for my lack of high school romance!

When I was thinking about what to post about the holiday, I wanted to revisit the recipe for this vegan mocha mousse. This time I jazzed it up this time with some chocolate chips and freeze dried raspberries for a fun pop of color and flavor. Feel free to top this creamy chocolate awesomeness with whatever your heart desires – coconut, peanuts, almonds, berries, pomegranate seeds, etc. For anyone feeling overwhelmed by having to make dinner for your honey, this dessert is definitely super easy and impressive. Plus, it is paleo, gluten-free, and vegan to boot! You won’t find any refined sugars here (well, until you add chocolate chips on top…) as this yummy dessert is sweetened with dates.

    This looks amazing, I’m going to make it tonight! Just wondering if it needs to chill in the fridge at all after processing?

      Thanks Natalie! I would chill it a bit after processing just to let it form up a little. Should only take 30 min to 1 hour.

    Hi! I’m planning on making this amazing mousse for a party.
    Do you think it’ll be OK if I prepare it the night before?
    Thanks

      Definitely. I had some leftover when I made this recipe the first time and it kept well in the fridge overnight. Hope you like it!
