How to Make Amaretto Spiked Chocolate Mousse Vegan

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in the plant-based milk until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. In a separate saucepan, heat the plant-based milk until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
  4. Slowly pour the hot plant-based milk into the cocoa mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and Amaretto (if using).
  6. Let the mixture cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to thicken further.
  7. Once cooled, whip the vegan whipped topping until soft peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the whipped topping into the cooled chocolate mixture until just combined.
  9. Divide the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  11. Garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries (optional).
  12. **Kid-Friendly Option:** Omit the Amaretto for a delicious non-alcoholic version that's perfect for the whole family!
