  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate (85% or higher), finely chopped

Chef’s Insight

The key to achieving the perfect texture for these Paleo chocolate mousse cakes is ensuring that the egg whites are beaten until they form stiff peaks, which adds lightness and volume to the dessert.

Notes
