Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream (from a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate chips or chopped vegan chocolate
  • 2 tbsp plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk)

Instructions

  1. Scoop out the thick coconut cream from a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk, leaving the liquid behind.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the coconut cream with peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or whisk.
  3. Spoon the mousse into small serving glasses or jars, smoothing the tops.
  4. For the ganache, warm the plant-based milk until hot (not boiling), then pour it over the chopped vegan chocolate in a bowl.
  5. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until it becomes a smooth, glossy ganache.
  6. Spoon or pour the ganache gently over the mousse layer.
  7. Chill the mousse cups in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set, or until ready to serve.

Notes

  • If you want a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
  • For added texture, layer crushed vegan cookies or granola between the mousse and ganache.
  • For a fruit twist, top the ganache with sliced bananas or raspberries before serving.
  • This dessert can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. The ganache firms up, so let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving if needed.
