Two ingredient chocolate mousse!

You won’t believe how luscious and rich this dairy free cashew chocolate mousse is. Vegan or not, I bet you will want this again and again.

And so will your guests!

What’s in this vegan mousse?

• Cashew Cream
• Semisweet chocolate

That’s it!

*Here’s How to Make Cashew Cream* (It's so easy!)

How to Make the Cashew Chocolate Mousse

- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Let it cool to room temperature.

- Add the cashew cream to the melted chocolate and mix until it’s evenly blended.- Pour the mixture into ramekins, cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least two hours. And voila, Creamy Vegan Chocolate Mousse!

- Garnish with shaved chocolate if desired.

(More detailed instructions are below.)

Can you make this chocolate mousse ahead?

This will keep well for up to four days, wrapped tightly in the refrigerator. I don’t recommend freezing the mousse.

Recipe Tips

• Allow the melted chocolate time to cool before adding the cashew cream to it. If the chocolate is too warm, it will harden if the cashew cream has been refrigerated. Alternately, you can let the cashew cream come to room temperature first.
• I like to add a bit of grated chocolate to the top for garnish, but this is optional.

Variations for Cashew Cream Mousse

• Add 1½ teaspoons of instant espresso powder to the recipe for a Vegan Mocha Mousse.
• Add 1 tablespoon of creamy peanut butter for a Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse.

I hope you love this super rich and creamy vegan chocolate mousse as much as my family and I do.
