Chocolate Mousse “Flower Pot” Cups

Here’s how I made 100 gf/v chocolate mousse “dirt” cups for an easter-themed giveaway last weekend. A rich vegan chocolate mousse layered with gluten free cookie crumbs and topped like a cute little plant pot!

I needed 3 of these (video-sized) batches to get 100 cups, but have given you a scaled down version below so you can make 6-8 of these at home (you could even half it to make just 3-4 if you want even fewer). They’d be super cute layered in a smaller glass, or in a little flower pot.

Makes ~6–8 small cups

Chocolate Mousse Base

• 100g dairy-free dark chocolate

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 6 tbsp coconut sugar

• 2 tbsp + 1 tsp tapioca starch

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1½ cups coconut milk

• 3 tbsp maple syrup

• 1/4 tsp instant espresso powder (optional)

Instructions

1. Add chocolate, coconut oil, and vanilla to a bowl. Set aside.

2. In a saucepan, whisk sugar, tapioca, and salt.

3. Slowly whisk in coconut milk until smooth.

4. Add maple syrup + espresso powder.

5. Cook on medium, whisking constantly (so it doesn’t scorch on the bottom), until boiling. Mine took a really long time because of the batch size, but yours should boil in 5-7 minutes. Boil 1–2 minutes until thick.

6. Pour over chocolate and whisk until smooth.

7. Chill completely (press plastic wrap directly on surface to stop a skin from forming).

Coconut Whip

• 1/2 cup coconut cream (solid part only, from the top of a chilled can of coconut milk)

• 1 tbsp + 1 tsp tapioca starch

• 1 tbsp maple syrup

• 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

1. Whip until fluffy, then chill until thickened (3 hours to overnight)

Make the Mousse

• Fold whipped cream into chocolate base, starting with about 1/3 of the whipped cream. Fold in, then add the rest and fold in until smooth

💡 Tip: Don’t skip the espresso—it makes the chocolate taste richer without tasting like coffee!
