Today I had a great day. Work was good, breakfast and lunch delicious, but that isn't what topped it off, today I discovered something that I cannot believe I have survived 27 years without. What was it you ask? It was....Coconut Chocolate Mousse! Amazing! Not only is it low in fat, it is HIGH in flavor!
Ok, here's what you do. Get a can of organic coconut milk, NOT the lite kind. Put it in the fridge overnight. Get it out, open it, and scoop out all the solid white stuff. Set that to the side.
Although it was great alone, I decided to add strawberries to mine (because they make EVERYTHING better!).
Pour the remaining liquid into a tupperware to save for later. It's great to make sauces, dressing, or to add to a smoothie.
Grab the bowl of solid white coconut milk from before and put it into a mixing bowl. Add cocoa and sweetener (I used Splenda) to taste. Whip until light and fluffy.
The result is a rich, thick, chocolate mousse that will make you wonder HOW you lived this long without trying it!! Admittedly I had to add 4 packets of Splenda, so maybe I might try some other kind of sweetener next time.
Although it was great alone, I decided to add strawberries to mine (because they make EVERYTHING better!).
Result? One of the best things ever. Eveeeeeeer. It could be because I haven't had real mousse in years, but I approve of this coconut chocolate mousse!
Side-note: I did not exercise today, I have been told I should take one day off a week to let my body rest.
Side-note 2: If you are not used to rich foods, or coconut, do not eat too much at one time. A friend told me she ate a lot and then became ill. Ease into it people.
