Ingredients

Crust

  • 6 oz ground almonds or any other nuts
  • oz coconut oil
  • oz raw cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoon honey

Cream

  • 13½ oz coconut milk 1 can
  • 7 oz dark chocolate

Instructions

Crust

  • Preheat the oven. Make sure to preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F beforehand so that when your crust is ready you can just pop it in the oven. 
  • Grind the nuts in a food processor so you get a consistency that is more dense than an almond flour but less dense than chopped nuts. 
  • Mix the cocoa powder, honey, coconut oil and almond meal in a large bowl. 
  • Place the crust batter into a springform pan (23 cm diameter (9 inch) and press down so it forms a compact base and put in the oven to bake for 10 minutes. 

Make the mousse layer

  • Meanwhile, heat coconut milk in a pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. While the coconut milk is heating up
  • Cut the dark chocolate into pieces and place in a small saucepan.
  • Add the boiled coconut milk to the chopped chocolate and mix until it forms a chocolate cream. The chocolate mixture will be much more runny than you would expect but coconut milk will firm up in the fridge a lot. 
  • Finish the cake. Pour the coconut chocolate mixture over the crust and refrigerate overnight. The cake should have a firm crust and the top cake layer should have a creamy texture. 
  • Next day once it is firm, you can decorate your delicious dessert with some chocolate shavings, fresh berries and sprinkle coarse sea salt on top of the cake.
