Ingredients
For the Mousse
- 4.93 oz dark chocolate chips or vegan chocolate chips for a dairy-free option
- 6.76 fl oz. milk or plain oat milk or almond milk for a dairy-free option
- 6.76 fl oz. coconut milk full fat
- ½ teaspoon agar agar powder
- 2 tablespoon white granulated sugar or cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
For the Bobas
- 1 cup bobas uncooked, store-bought
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- In a small pot, whisk together the chocolate mousse ingredients as listed until combined. Bring this mixture to a boil over high heat for 60 seconds, while whisking.
- Remove the pot off the heat and quickly pour it into four small dessert bowls or molds through a fine sieve. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight for the mousse to set.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat. Add bobas and reduce to medium heat to simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not cover.
- Remove the pot of bobas from the heat, cover and let bobas sit in their liquids for another 20 minutes. Then strain and rinse bobas under warm water.
- Transfer cooked bobas into a large bowl and mix in brown sugar until combined and dissolved.
- Remove the mousse from the fridge and carefully remove it from the molds or leave in the dessert bowls to serve with the sugared bobas.
