This 5-ingredient paleo vegan chocolate mousse is easy to make and egg-free! It’s also GAPS and AIP-friendly.

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces (400 ml) canned full-fat coconut milk refrigerated for at least 8 hours
  • 100 grams pitted dates that's about 16 - 18 dates regular-sized dates or 4 Medjool
  • 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons cocoa powder or carob powder for AIP
  • 3 tablespoons (42 grams) coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder / bean scrapings for AIP
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt I like things salty and use 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  • Scoop out everything but 1/3 cup (80 ml) of coconut water from the can and place the contents in a small pot.
    14 ounces (400 ml) canned full-fat coconut milk
  • Warm it up so that it's melted and no longer hard.
  • Place that and the remaining ingredients (using 1 1/2 tablespoons of cocoa for now) in a high-powered blender (I haven't tried this in a food processor). Blend for about 1 minute and add additional cocoa / carob, to taste.
    100 grams pitted dates, 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons (42 grams) coconut oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Once totally blended and no chunks of dates remain, pour into dessert glasses. Chill for at least 2 hours to firm up. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.

Notes

  • For AIP: Use carob powder. Vanilla powder / bean scrapings are elimination-phase legal (read more here).
  • For GAPS: Cocoa powder is GAPS-legal once you're on the full diet and don't have any digestive symptoms. Read here for more info. I also use vanilla bean scrapings but it looks like pure vanilla extract (with just vanilla beans + vodka) is legal.
