Chef’s notes

This recipe even works when the power goes out. Simply place the coconut can outside in the snow for a few minutes, then whisk well with a fork until smooth and creamy. Option: Gently warm the mousse (do not boil) and it’ll turns into a thick drinking chocolate-cream Perfect for mugs by the fire 🕯️
