Growing up, whenever the family would visit my grandparents, my grandpa always handed out Hershey’s Milk Chocolate with Almonds candy bars. I loved those candy bars, and to this day, they still remind me of him.

Vegan Chocolate-Almond Mousse with Coconut Whipped Topping makes a fun dessert. This vegan chocolate mousse is delicious and easy to make.

This Vegan Chocolate-Almond Mousse with Coconut Whipped Topping brings back memories of those candy bars, with its smooth, rich chocolate combined with the flavor of almonds. This mousse is indulgent and chocoholics will surely enjoy it. 

Vegan Chocolate-Almond Mousse with Coconut Whipped Topping is a dessert that is super dreamy. You'll love this vegan chocolate mousse!

I made the whipped topping (also extra easy to make) with coconut milk and vegan confectioners’ sugar. Keep in mind that to make the topping, you must use the full-fat version of coconut milk, and you must refrigerate it in the can overnight.

This will cause the milk to separate and form a solid layer that hovers at the top of the can. You’ll scoop out the solid and use it to make the whipped topping.

You’ll be amazed by how easy it is to make Vegan Chocolate-Almond Mousse with Coconut Whipped Topping, and even more so with how delicious it is. No exaggeration.

Get your goodie on with this Sweets for Your Sweet treat!

Vegan Chocolate Mousse with Coconut Whipped Topping is delightful dessert. You'll love this vegan chocolate mousse for a delightful treat!

Ingredients

    For the mousse:
  • 1 (12.3-ounce) package of soft or silken tofu, drained
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3-1/2 cup coconut milk (or other non-dairy milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract, more or less to taste
  • 2-3 tablespoons agave nectar, more or less to taste
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
    • For the whipped topping:
  • 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
  • 1/3 cup vegan confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

    For the mousse:
  1. Add the cocoa powder to a bowl and, a little at a time, add the coconut milk, whisking until smooth.
  2. Add the tofu to a blender or food processor, along with the cocoa mixture, almond extract, and agave nectar. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
  4. Add the chocolate chips and vegetable oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 10-second increments, until the chips have melted. Stir to combine.
  5. Fold the melted chocolate chips into the blended mixture and mix to combine.
  6. Transfer the mixture to serving bowls or glasses and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  7. Remove and serve topped with the whipped topping, garnished with toasted almond slivers or coconut flakes and chocolate shavings.
    8. For the whipped topping:
  8. Place a (13.5-ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight.
  9. Carefully scoop out the solid portion from the top of the can and add it to a bowl. Reserve the milk for another use.
  10. Add the confectioners’ sugar to the coconut milk solid, and beat with a blender until it is smooth and begins to stiffen and resemble whipped topping.

    This sounds amazing - and certainly more tasty than just a regular ol' Hershey's chocolate bar (even though they ARE pretty awesome). I love how easy it is to put together. I might not be able to wait until Valentine's Day to try this out!

    This looks awesome! I love these tofu based desserts, but haven't made one in years. Maybe I need to try it again with your recipe. And, I've never tried the coconut whipped topping, but totally need to! This looks so good!

      Thanks, Debi! I really like this one -- a keeper! And the whipped topping couldn't be easier (although you do need to plan a bit for the refrigeration-factor)!

    That memory you shared about your grandpa is precious. And I love that you also called your grandfather "grandpa" as did I with mine. Funny your memory is of chocolate...mine is of kohlrabi, as that vegetable was prolific in his garden & he would offer me one whenever they were ready. I would eat them raw like apples, snacking on them as I skipped back home. (He lived on the street below, not an hour away!)I don't find that vegetable very often-but when I do, I think of him.

      Thanks, Yvonne - I still love those candy bars! Now kohlrabi -- that's quite a memory, too! I'm not sure I've had it, but will now be on the lookout :)

    I have wonderful memories of my grandparents giving me chocolate and other sweets as well. Those treats will always remind me of them. I love that this recipe was inspired by your grandpa. I also love simple desserts, so I'll be saving this for when I need a quick and decadent chocolate fix.
