    This White Chocolate Coconut Mousse is a decadently delicious dessert for a special occasion!

    White chocolate coconut mousse topped with toasted coconut and pomegranate seeds in clear glass cups with an orange wedgeI have to share this super delicious decadent dessert recipe with you that is so quick and easy to make. This White Chocolate Coconut Mousse looks beautiful and festive, tastes great and is perfect for holiday entertaining.

    Sometimes simple things like this White Chocolate Coconut Mousse (that’s a mouthful!) can be as tasty and pleasing as something you’ve labored over for hours and it only takes about 15 minutes to make it. That’s one of the great things about this dessert. Besides the fact that it’s totally delicious! And…no baking required!

    It can be made either vegan or vegetarian depending which white chocolate you choose to make it with. Because it’s a rich dessert, you don’t need a huge portion to satisfy your sweet tooth.

    Since it’s a dessert using the cream from a can of full fat coconut milk, you do have to refrigerate your can of coconut milk ahead of time so the cream will separate and solidify. So there is a think ahead element to this recipe. Other than that, it comes together very quickly.

    Besides being a great dessert to serve to guests at home, it also travels very easily so you can bring it along to a friend’s house for any holiday get-togethers or other special occasions. And I bet you that everyone will love it!

    Adding the toppings of toasted coconut and pomegranate seeds give it a special touch and might even bring you some oohs and ahhs – a real crowd pleaser!

    So without further ado …

    Here is the recipe:

    Ingredients

    • 1 can full fat coconut milk
    • 3 Tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    • 5 ounces white chocolate
    • toasted coconut
    • pomegranate seeds

    Instructions

    • ***NOTE: Refrigerate your can of full fat coconut milk overnight to separate and solidify the coconut cream from the coconut milk***
    • Remove the can of coconut milk from the fridge and scoop out only the solid white cream and put into a bowl
    • Save the milk that's left in the bottom of the can to use in something else, like a smoothie
    • Add the orange juice and the vanilla to the bowl with the coconut cream and beat together with an electric hand mixer on low speed for a couple minutes until a thick heavy cream is formed
    • To melt your chocolate, place your broken up pieces in the top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water (*Important* - make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of your bowl - but just allow the steam to heat the bowl with the chocolate)
    • Stir your white chocolate as it's melting with a rubber spatula until it's melted and creamy and then remove from heat
    • Add 2 heaping Tablespoons of the whipped coconut cream to your melted chocolate and gently stir together until combined
    • Slowly and gently fold this mixture into the bowl of whipped coconut cream until well combined
    • Spoon the mousse into mini dessert glasses of your choice - 2 to 4 ounce size is perfect
    • Toast a small amount of coconut in a dry frying pan
    • Top your mousse with toasted coconut and pomegranate seeds and garnish with a fresh orange wedge
    • ENJOY!
