For the mousse base
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
- 3 oz dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), finely chopped
- 3 tbsp almond butter, smooth

Instructions
- 1
Open the refrigerated can of coconut milk without shaking it. Scoop the solidified coconut cream from the top into a large mixing bowl, leaving the watery liquid behind. Beat the coconut cream with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until it holds soft, billowy peaks, about 2–3 minutes. Refrigerate while you prepare the chocolate base.

Place the chopped dark chocolate in a medium saucepan over the lowest heat setting, stirring constantly until just melted and smooth, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.
