Looking for a healthier chocolate fix that only takes a few minutes to make? Look no further! This is the BEST vegan chocolate mousse you will ever make! It’s a magical, two ingredient dark chocolate mousse that you can whip up in no time!

This vegan chocolate mousse is so good! It looks fancy, like it would be really complicated to make, but it really isn’t - looks can be so deceiving at times!
Similar to my Cheater's Chocolate Mouse, this mousse is creamy, decadent, and rich! The main difference is that this one is vegan!

WHAT MAKES THIS RECIPE STAND OUT:
- This recipe doesn’t have any unusual or hard-to-find ingredients! No tofu, no aquafaba (water used in cooking chickpeas!), no avocado, no gelatin - no fuss! Just 2 simple ingredients are all you need!
- You can make it in less than 20 minutes!
- It's vegan, so there are no eggs or cream.
- It’s low in sugar, making it a lot healthier than your average mousse.
- It looks pretty when piped into glass dishes and would be great for dinner parties!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE THIS VEGAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE:
Dark chocolate: I use couverture, which is a high-quality chocolate, perfect for melting and baking. You could use dark, but you need to make sure it has a high percentage of cocoa butter, the higher the better. The one I use is 72% and I really think this high amount of cocoa butter helps to make the mousse thick. In addition, it has a much richer flavor.
Coconut milk: Coconut milk is usually my go-to whenever I want to replace heavy cream for a lighter dessert. For this recipe, you do not taste the coconut at all! It just blends well with the couverture chocolate - a real dream to work with!
WHAT CHOCOLATE TO USE
I tested this recipe with 2 different kinds of couverture chocolate: one with 54% cocoa butter and one with 72% cocoa butter. The 54% made the dessert much creamier and more like a pudding rather than a mousse, but it thickened in the fridge after a few hours. However, with the 72% , the texture was perfect and it was much thicker!
WHAT COCONUT MILK TO USE
Make sure the coconut milk you are using is NOT in a carton.
The coconut milk that’s in a carton won’t work for this recipe. It isn’t the same as the one in the can - it’s much too watery. You need canned coconut milk, just make sure it’s unsweetened.
I experimented with 2 different kinds of coconut milk: light and full fat. I didn’t really see much of a difference, despite the fact that the regular coconut milk is thicker than the lighter one.

HOW TO MAKE TWO INGREDIENT VEGAN CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
I think this is the easiest recipe on the blog! Seriously, it only takes 2 simple steps and a few minutes!
STEP 1
Put the can of coconut milk in the freezer for 10 minutes.
STEP 2
Take it out of the freezer, pour it into a bowl and beat it for 1 minute.
Add the melted chocolate and beat for exactly 2 minutes.
That’s it!
If you want to make it fancy, just put it into a piping bag and pipe it into serving glasses!

Top Tip
You can either melt the chocolate either by putting it in the microwave in 30 second increments, or by putting it in a bowl over just simmering water and stirring it until it melts. I personally like melting it over hot water - that way I know I won’t risk scorching it.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- You really need chocolate with a high cocoa ratio for best results. I think couverture is best because it's really smooth and creates the right texture. However, if you can't get it, use dark chocolate, instead.
VARIATIONS, ADD-INS & TOPPINGS
- Add a shot of your favorite alcohol! I think mint liquor would be nice!
- Top with your favorite nuts or fruit. I love topping it with chocolate shavings or ground Oreo cookies!
- Go totally overboard and drizzle some chocolate syrup over it!

I made this using 2 bars (7 oz total) of Lindt 70% cacao. It came out a little liquidy after beating, so I put in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up. It came out perfect, not too sweet, very light, and delicious. Topped with raspberries and enjoyed thoroughly!
