Preparation
Step 1
Remove the chilled can of coconut milk from the refrigerator and turn it upside down. Use a can opener to cut the bottom and pour out the clear coconut water, leaving behind the coconut cream (about a heaping 1/2 cup).
Step 2
Scoop the coconut cream into a large heat-safe bowl and add the chocolate and SunButter.
Step 3
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir the mixture until smooth and melted.
Step 4
Remove from the heat and mix in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla.
Step 5
Keep mixing until it’s completely smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes or until the bowl is no longer warm on the bottom.
Step 7
Once chilled, whip the mousse using an electric hand mixer. Mix on high speed until lightened and fluffy.
Step 8
Distribute the mousse between 6 small dishes and add your favorite toppings. Eat right away or store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Chef's notes
For a true chocolate flavor, use a chopped bar of vegan dark chocolate.
Natural SunButter adds smoothness and a hint of sweetness.
Coconut cream acts as a substitute for heavy cream, thickening as it cools.
Adjust maple syrup for desired sweetness.
