Vegan Chocolate Mousse with Raspberry Whip Cream!
A rich and creamy Vegan Chocolate Mousse topped with light and fluffy Raspberry Whip Cream. This is the perfect combination. The rich Chocolate Mousse pairs perfectly with the light tasting Raspberry Whip Cream and creates a perfect balance.
This dessert is elegant, delicious, and healthy! It’s vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free. Both the mousse and whip cream are loaded with tons of healthy fats, and the mousse also includes additional protein from the hemp hearts!
I created this recipe for Valentine’s Day, but it would be delicious served all year round, and especially in summer with fresh raspberries. Feel free to top this with additional fresh raspberries or chocolate shavings.

Chocolate Mousse with Raspberry Whip Cream
Ingredients
Chocolate Mousse:
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 3/4 cup nut milk I used almond
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 3 tablespoons hemp hearts
- 6 Medjool dates pitted
Raspberry Whip Cream:
- Coconut cream from one 14oz can of full-fat coconut milk chilled
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 handful fresh raspberries
Instructions
- To make the Chocolate Mousse, add all ingredients to a high power blender. (My ninja bullet works for this and fits both servings at once.) Blend until completely smooth. Spoon the smooth mousse into two serving dishes. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
- To prepare the Raspberry Whip Cream, separate the thick white coconut cream from a chilled can of coconut milk. Save the coconut milk for another use. Beat the chilled coconut cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the maple syrup and fresh raspberries. Beat until fully combined.
- Dollop or pipe the prepared Raspberry Whip Cream onto your chilled Chocolate Mousse. If you are piping your cream you may want to chill it in the fridge for a few minutes before piping.
- Top with raspberries or chocolate shavings if desired.
- Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for up to overnight.
