High Protein Chocolate Mousse (No Dairy!)
Description
High Protein Chocolate Mousse (No Dairy!) combines vegan brown rice protein powder and cacao with melted chocolate chips and full-fat coconut milk, gently folded together with freshly beaten egg whites. The preparation involves melting the chocolate mixture gently over low heat and then incorporating the aerated egg whites, resulting in a mousse that is both rich and light in texture. The absence of dairy makes this recipe suitable for those avoiding milk products.
The mousse needs to chill in the refrigerator for about four hours to firm properly, gaining a stable yet soft consistency. The use of full-fat coconut milk helps provide a creamy mouthfeel that balances the lightness of the whipped egg whites. The flavor is subtly chocolatey with additional depth from the protein powder and cacao.
Serve this mousse as a protein-packed dessert or snack. Its make-ahead nature allows it to be prepped in advance, making it handy for gatherings or as a post-workout indulgence. It keeps well for up to three to four days in the fridge, with the texture firming slightly over time but remaining pleasant to eat.
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan chocolate protein powder brown rice
- 1 tbs cacao powder
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup coconut milk full fat
- 4 egg freshly separated, white
Instructions
- In a small pot, heat the coconut milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract over low heat. Until hot.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric handheld mixer for two full minutes until they’re foamy.
- Once the chocolate chips are melted, use the handheld mixer to mix in the protein powder and cacao powder to the coconut milk mixture.
- Finally, add in the egg whites while keeping the mixer going.
- Portion into mini jars or serving cups and let sit in the fridge for 4 hours to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk to ensure the mousse sets properly and has a creamy texture.
- Separate and use fresh egg whites for best volume when whipping; beat them until fully foamy.
- Incorporate protein powder into the warm coconut milk mixture before adding egg whites to avoid clumping.
- Allow mousse to chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours to firm up before serving; it can be stored for up to four days.
