Ingredients
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups full-fat coconut milk (chilled overnight)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a food processor, blend rolled oats, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, and salt until finely ground.
- Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Process until the mixture resembles a sticky dough.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan and freeze while making the mousse.
- Scoop the solid cream from the chilled coconut milk into a mixing bowl.
- Beat the coconut cream with maple syrup and vanilla until fluffy.
- Fold in shredded coconut and melted coconut oil until well combined.
- Spread the mousse evenly over the base and return to freezer for at least 1 hour to set.
- Heat coconut milk until just simmering, then pour over chocolate and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- Let it sit for a few minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy to form ganache.
- Pour ganache over the chilled mousse layer and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once fully set, slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Add chopped roasted almonds to the base for extra crunch and flavor.
Mix mini chocolate chips into the mousse for added texture.
Add lime zest to the mousse for a tropical twist.
Replace ganache with cocoa powder and coconut flakes for a lighter topping.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for up to 1 month.
