There are few things in life that a good chocolate mousse can’t fix. Stressful day? Chocolate. Celebrating? Chocolate. Practicing self-love and nourishment? Definitely chocolate. But this isn’t just any chocolate mousse - this is a rich, silky, soul-hugging dessert made with ceremonial cacao, bringing all the decadence without the sugar crash.
Unlike your standard chocolate mousse, this version is packed with magnesium (hello, relaxation!), theobromine (a gentle mood booster), and just the right amount of flaky sea salt to balance the deep, velvety richness of the cacao. It’s indulgent, yes - but it’s also nourishing, grounding, and ridiculously easy to make.
So, whether you’re whipping this up for a cosy night in, sharing it with someone special, or simply standing at the fridge with a spoon (no judgment here), consider this your invitation to slow down, savour, and enjoy the little luxuries in life.
Let’s get to it - your new favourite chocolate mousse awaits! 🍫✨
Serves: 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes + 30 minutes chilling
Dairy-Free Option Available
50g ceremonial cacao, chopped OR 1/4 cup cacao (powdered)
1/4 to 1/2 cup very hot water or coconut milk (to melt cacao)
1 cup Greek yoghurt (or coconut yoghurt for dairy-free)
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
A good pinch of flaky sea salt (plus extra for topping)
Dark chocolate shavings or grated ceremonial cacao (for topping, optional)
2 teaspoons of unflavoured marine collagen (optional)
Melt the ceremonial cacao
Place the chopped cacao in a small heatproof bowl. Pour the hot water or coconut milk over the cacao. Stir gently until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly. It's best to use as little as possible so the mousse remains thick.
Mix the mousse
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yoghurt, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Slowly pour in the melted cacao, stirring continuously until fully combined.
Chill & serve
Spoon into serving cups and refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes to thicken. Before serving, sprinkle with extra sea salt and dark chocolate shavings for a little crunch.
