Dark Chocolate Coconut Mousse

Dark chocolate coconut mousse is delicious any time of day! The secret to this simple and luscious 3-ingredient mousse is to thicken it up with a small amount of chia seeds, rather than arrowroot or cornstarch, which might make it lumpy. And it takes 10 minutes or less of hands-on time. Recipe by Leslie Cerier, developed for Equal Exchange with their organic dark chocolate chips.

Notes on topping options: Use a readymade vegan whipped cream or make your own if you're feeling more ambitious; fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries go well with this too, with or without the whipped cream.
