Almond butter chocolate mousse
I still haven’t been baking for a while because of the heat so today I decided to make this almond butter chocolate mousse that was really easy to make and delicious.
I like making healthier substitutions for all my desserts. When you cook your own food and make your own desserts you are in total control of what goes in so for this almond butter chocolate mousse I used nothing but healthy ingredients.
Instead of using heavy cream I used coconut cream and to keep it dairy free I also used plant based Silk Dark Chocolate Almond milk. It was truly the bomb. It was actually my first time using this version of almond milk and it was just perfect for this dessert.

Silk’s new package is nice and slick. Check it out!
I also used maple syrup which is vegan and a much healthier alternative to regular sugar. You can also use honey if you like, they both will work find for this dessert.
I like to use almond butter in place of peanut butter even though I might use peanut butter once in a while. You can use which ever you like, the chocolate mousse will still turn out perfect so if you like the peanut butter chocolate combo go for it.
I am all about making quick, no bake desserts lately and I think I will have a few more in store for you before the summer is over.
Let me know if you get to try this almond butter chocolate mousse. I hope you like it as much as we did.
Enjoy!
