Chocolate Mousse
This mousse is so light, so airy, so decadent, and so HEALTHY! The secret ingredient? PUMPKIN! Yup! It’s true. This guilt-free goodie helps to lower heart disease, prevent against cancer, and is great for expecting mums for it’s high folate content. You wouldn’t even know! And oh so, so good.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked, pureed pumpkin
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- ½ cup coconut oil (make sure it’s heated to point of being liquid)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp vanilla
Directions:
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well with a fork. That’s it!

what can i use instead of coconut butter?? Thanks
You can use cacao butter (from raw chocolate) or just omit it completely, but it will change the taste/consistency.
I make it with coconut oil and it’s delicious
This is a favourite in our house. I make it often for potlucks and I even made it for my son’s playschool class for their Valentine’s Day party. Lovely!
Love! Love how the kids are eating it too!! 🙂
