Two ingredient chocolate mousse!
You won’t believe how luscious and rich this dairy free cashew chocolate dessert is. Vegan or not, I bet you will want this again and again.
And so will your guests!
What’s in this recipe?
- 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.

Who knew? I’ve never tried any nut milks, but since Denisa is in NYC, I actually can now! This looks so light and airy; delectable!

Thank you, Christina. When my oldest was out of town, I baked a lot with regular flour, since he’s GF. And then I scrubbed my counters. 🙂 ~Valentina
Ron says
Cashew cream and chocolate is so yummy sounding. We’re nut-free here, but I can taste your Vegan Chocolate Mousse virtually with my eyes…
valentina says
Aww, thanks Ron. Since everything is virtual these days, that’s perfect. 😉 ~Valentina
Jeff the Chef @ Make It Like a Man! says
That’s interesting! I’ve never had anything made with cashew cream before.
valentina says
It’s really fun, Jeff. I’m always surprised at how great it is to add to recipes. Yesterday I added a couple of tablespoon to a beef stew, just to thicken the gravy a bit, and it was delicious. ~Valentina
