Chocolate Orange Mousse (Vegan & GF)

1. Wash and carefully scoop/cut out the middle of the oranges. You can place the scooped out orange into a container and enjoy as a snack or for juicing, better than wasting it!

2. Using a bain marie, melt your chocolate until silky & smooth.

3. Whilst the chocolate is hot, carefully pour some chocolate into each orange and work up the edges of the oranges. This step is important as the chocolate helps to seal the orange. You may get leakages if your seal is not intact! Place the oranges in the freezer whilst you make the mousse!

4. Open the can of chilled coconut milk and carefully drain out the clear liquid, we only want the white cream!!!

5. Transfer the cream into a bowl and using an electric mixer/food processor, whisk the coconut cream along with 1 & 1/2 tsp of orange extract.

6. Slowly add in the cocoa powder and maple syrup and whisk until light & fluffy!

7. You can spoon the mousse into the oranges, but I like to pipe it in for a smooth & clean finish!

8. Decorate with a drizzle of left over melted chocolate, grated chocolate and a slice of juicy orange. You can always sprinkle on some chopped hazelnuts for added protein & tasty crunch!

Keep stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days!
