For the Mousse Lovers… Mocha Faux de Crème

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 14oz. can coconut milk
  
• 3 tablespoon cocoa powder
  
• 2 tablespoon raw/turbinado vegan sugar
  
• 2 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
  
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee
  
• 1/8 ounce agar agar flakes or bars.
  

Directions:

In small saucepan on medium heat, heat
coconut milk, cocoa powder and raw
vegan sugar, blending using wire whisk for 5
minutes.

Add agar agar flakes/bar, simmer and
stir constantly with wire whisk for 15
minutes on medium-low heat. We used agar
agar bars. The package contained .5 oz.,
and contained two bars, so we used 1/2
of one bar. At the end of 15 minutes add
the vanilla extract.

Pour into small dishes (soufflé, or
custard cups) and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Makes about two small dishes (soufflé,
or custard cups) holding about 3/4 cup
each. Doubling or tripling this recipe
seems to work fine.

Please keep in mind that coconut milk
can have a laxative affect.

Variations:

-Put chocolate curls/cookie
crumbs/chopped nuts on top for added flair.

-Put a spoon-full of preserves in the
middle, such as cherry, strawberry or
raspberry (in addition to, or instead of
coffee) for a delightful hidden surprise.

-To make this even more magically
delicious, there are no limitations of
variations of this recipe except your
imagination!
