Chocolate Pomegranate Mousse

Print

Ingredients

• 4 cups non-dairy whip topping OR heavy cream
• 1 cup cocoa powder (not Dutch process - I use Hershey's brand)
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• pomegranate arils, optional, for garnish.

Instructions

1. In the bowl of an electric muxer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat whip on high speed until completely stiff.
2. Add remaining ingredients and beat on low until fully incorporated. For ease of piping, I like to refrigerate the mixture overnight, but it is not required.
3. Spoon or pipe mousse into glasses or jars. If using, garnish with pomegranate arils. Serve chilled.

Notes

Plan ahead:

This mousse can be frozen in an airtight container until ready to serve. Serve frozen, as ice cream, or partially/fully defrosted. If topping with pomegranate seeds, do so after freezing.

Variation:

Instead of piping into glasses, fill a graham cracker pie crust or two with the mousse. Freeze, then cut into slices to serve.

I like to pipe my mousse desserts into little plastic jars that look nice, but can be thrown away after! Click here for the jars used in the photos.
