How to make chocolate mousse
To make these mousse jars you want to begin by blending together the almond butter, syrup and cashews. For the cashews they will need to be soft, in order to blend. To achieve this you’ll need to soak the cashews overnight and then drain them before blending.
However, if you’re short for time and can’t soak any cashews, cashew butter/paste will work well here also.
Then heat together the chocolate and milk in a microwave for 30second intervals and pour into the cashew mix and blend again.
Chop your strawberries into small squares and divide them equally into the bottom of each jar.
Then spoon the mousse on top of the strawberries and gently tap the jars on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Set in the fridge for 1-2hrs in the freezer. And enjoy!
Non-vegan alternative
If you didn’t want to make this mousse vegan simply substitute the vegan chocolate for normal dark chocolate and the plant based milk for normal whole milk.

Seems like a quick and easy recipe! Any recommendations toppings to put in?
Hi Tracey, yes it may be the quickest mousse recipes you’ll find! some ideas for topping for this mouse could be a ganache which is essentially equal parts chocolate to double cream – which can be easily substituted for vegan alternatives. Another great classic topping is a piping of cream sweetened with some icing sugar.
I love easy and tasty recipes and this one checks both.
I’ll make it with dark chocolate and honey. Maybe maple syrup?
Oh, and I love the strawberry combination.
