If you are needing a quick, decadent dessert, this vegan Chocolate Mousse with Orange Cream will be perfect! The Chocolate Mousse and the Orange Cream can both be made separately or served together because each flavor is super delicious!
When making the Chocolate Mousse, be extremely careful of the temperatures of the ingredients. If the chocolate is too hot while the coconut cream is too cold, the Chocolate Mousse texture will be grainy. If both the chocolate and coconut mixtures are room temperature before blending, the final mousse texture will be airy and light! It is certainly worth the wait to let the ingredients reach room temperature.
The Orange Cream is a version of banana ice cream, also referred to as “nice cream, ” and its final consistency will be like soft serve ice cream! I used doTERRA Tangerine essential oil for the orange flavoring, but orange extract or orange peel zest will also add a lovely flavor.
