Print Recipe

A silky, smooth, and rich dairy-free chocolate mousse perfect for Passover, made with coconut cream and dark chocolate. This easy recipe is quick to prepare and fits kosher-for-Passover dietary restrictions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut cream
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher, dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh raspberries or strawberries, toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, cocoa powder, cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Chill the coconut cream in the fridge overnight or at least 6 hours to solidify the cream at the top.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate gently in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Open the chilled coconut cream can and scoop out the solid cream into a mixing bowl, leaving the liquid behind.
  4. Whip the coconut cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Fold in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, espresso powder (if using), and a pinch of salt gently until combined.
  6. Pour the slightly cooled melted chocolate into the whipped coconut cream mixture and fold slowly with a spatula until smooth and glossy.
  7. Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or ramekins, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 3-4 hours.
  8. Before serving, garnish with fresh berries, toasted coconut flakes, or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.

Notes

Chill the coconut cream thoroughly for best whipping results. Use a gentle folding motion to keep the mousse light and airy. The mousse can be made a day ahead to improve flavor. If coconut cream is not available, silken tofu can be used but will change texture. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
