- For a layered chocolate mousse: If you want to serve this vegan chocolate mousse in cups/jars, then making a layered mousse will look (and taste) delicious. Simply split the ingredients in half and use a dairy-free 'milk' chocolate for one layer and 'dark' chocolate for the other. You could even make a third layer using vegan white chocolate. Process each layer separately and spoon into your cups/jars in clean layers.
-
- Use high-quality chocolate: Since chocolate is the prominent flavor in this recipe, make sure to use a brand that you enjoy the taste of.
