September 2nd was National Coconut Day...and you can bet I celebrated!

Do you like coconut? It’s one of my favorite foods, and I enjoy it in so many forms.

I had a can of coconut cream in my refrigerator that I’d been waiting to use, and now I had my chance. So I cracked it open and made this ridiculously easy 5-Ingredient Chocolate Mousse. You literally dump all of the ingredients in a bowl, blend for a couple of minutes, and put in the refrigerator. I did it in between bouts of caring for my 5-month-old. And five minutes is about all I had. My husband, who isn't typically a mousse fan ate his fair share (and then some), and heartily approved. and on top of everything, you would never guess that this wasn't the real thing.

And on top of it all it's arguably a little better for you than the normal cream option...especially if you use the raw cacao (a superfood!).

Be sure to tag me on IG (@bellesdirtydishes) when you make this--I can't wait to hear what you think!

Looks interesting- I have cans of cocoanut milk, presume it is the regular size, not the little ones. Does castor sugar count for the sweetener? Not keen on artificial sugars?

  I'm not the recipe creator, but I noticed that the recipe calls for Coconut CREAM which is not the same as Coconut Milk. I think they only have one size can. I would assume castor sugar is fine since the recipe says - sweetener of your choice. Again I didn't write the recipe - I'm just sharing my interpretation.

  Yes, you could completely use castor sugar. Also, the can size is the normal one...15 oz, I think. But I’ll clarify!

  Not coconut milk, coconut cream! They are two different things!

  Not sweetened coconut cream. Coconut cream is thicker than coconut milk, both unsweetened. Easily found in Asian markets

  Coconut cream is thicker than coconut milk it won’t be a mousse with milk. Unless you cornflour to thicken.
