ingredients for Easy Chocolate Raspberry Mousse

Ingredients for Chocolate Raspberry Mousse:

Raspberries- use fresh raspberries. I have not tried frozen raspberries in this recipe, but if you do let me know how it turns out in the comments below!

Chocolate Chips- use your favorite chocolate chips, dairy free if need be.

Coconut Oil use unrefined coconut oil so that there is no coconut taste or smell. This helps to smooth out the chocolate.

Choice of Milk- use your favorite kind- I used unsweetened original almond milk. If not dairy free, you can sub regular cow’s milk.

Vanilla- make sure to use pure vanilla extract. Adds warmth and the perfect flavor complementing the chocolate.

How to make Easy Chocolate Raspberry Mousse:

Make the raspberry syrup: Heat the raspberries in a sauce pan until they are tender enough to mash. Mash the raspberries into a syrup. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Discard the seeds. Set aside.

Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together.

Add the ingredients: Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together over low heat until all ingredients have combined.

Set: Transfer to a mason jar, or a jar with a lid, and chill in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use other berries instead of raspberries?

Absolutely! Any berry will work in this mousse recipe. You can sub blackberries, blueberries or even strawberries. I haven’t tried it with strawberries but I bet it’d taste like a chocolate covered strawberry! YUM.

Can I use a different kind of chocolate?

You can sub milk or dark chocolate for the semi sweet chocolate in equal parts.

Can I make this dessert beforehand?

Yes! This dessert is the perfect make ahead dessert, especially since it needs to chill and set. I’d recommend making this mousse the morning of, but you can also make it the day before and let it set overnight.

How to store leftovers?

This mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I like to store this mousse in 8 oz mason jars.

Can I sub the maple syrup in the Raspberry Syrup?

You can sub the maple syrup for honey, agave or regular granulated syrup.
