Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup flax meal
- 1/3 cup runny almond butter
- 1 cup medjool dates, pitted
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup dairy-free milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Mousse
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Edward and Son’s heavy coconut cream
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 5 large medjool dates, pitted
Raspberry Jam Topping
- 10 ounces frozen raspberries
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Base Layer: In a food processor, combine almond flour, flax meal, runny almond butter, medjool dates, cocoa powder, dairy-free milk, and vanilla extract. Process until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency suitable for shaping.
- Shape the Base: Line parchment paper cups with the dough mixture, pressing it firmly into the bottom and up the sides to create a well in the center for the mousse. Place the cups in the freezer to chill while preparing the mousse.
- Make the Chocolate Mousse: Blend Edward and Son’s heavy coconut cream, cocoa powder, and pitted medjool dates in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Mousse Cups: Remove the parchment paper cups from the freezer and fill the center wells with the chocolate mousse mixture. Return the cups to the freezer and let them set for about 2 hours to firm up.
- Prepare Raspberry Jam Topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine frozen raspberries, water, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- Add Raspberry Jam to Cups: Once cooled, spoon the raspberry jam topping onto the set chocolate mousse cups evenly.
- Optional Chocolate Drizzle: For an extra decadent touch, drizzle melted unsweetened chocolate over the tops of the cups.
- Final Chill: Return the assembled cups to the freezer for a few minutes to set the raspberry jam and optional drizzle.
- Serve: Serve the Marry Me No Bake Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Cups chilled and enjoy this elegant, no-bake dessert!
Notes
- Use medjool dates for natural sweetness and a soft texture in both the base and mousse.
- Ensure the coconut cream is well chilled before whipping or blending for best consistency.
- You can substitute almond butter with any other nut or seed butter if desired.
- The raspberry jam topping can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- These mousse cups are best served chilled but can be stored in the freezer for longer preservation.
- If you prefer a smoother jam, blend it once cooked before cooling.
