The steamed cauliflower in this vegan chocolate mousse gives it a creamy texture. This makes it a healthier alternative to regular mousse recipes. Because of the cocoa powder and sweeteners, you can't even taste the cauliflower. The dessert is rich and decadent.
Ingredients: 1 small head of cauliflower, steamed until very soft. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1/4 cup almond milk. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pinch of salt. Optional toppings: fresh berries, coconut flakes, chopped nuts.
Instructions: In a blender or food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup. Transfer the mixture to serving glasses or bowls. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set. Before serving, garnish with fresh berries, coconut flakes, or chopped nuts if desired.
